mandatory liquid assets

mandatory liquid assets
Certain liquid assets, the structure and nature of which are defined by regulatory requirement, that a bank is required to maintain on its balance sheet. Such requirements may be implemented as an instrument of monetary control or as a protection against ‘runs’ on particular banks. The regulatory trend is away from this type of control, since it often gives a market advantage to short-term government debt, which is a major part of the specified assets.
