MONEY MARKET ATTRIBUTES
Money markets refer to a segment of the financial market where short-term borrowing and lending of funds take place. It primarily deals with highly liquid and low-risk financial instruments with short maturities, typically less than one year. Money markets serve as a platform for participants, including financial institutions, corporations, and governments, to manage their short-term cash needs, invest surplus funds, and obtain short-term financing.
MONEY MARKET USES
Common examples of money market instruments include Treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit (CDs), repurchase agreements (repos), and short-term government bonds. These instruments facilitate the borrowing and lending of funds, provide a means for managing short-term liquidity, and enable participants to earn a modest return on their investments while preserving capital.
