Money Market

A market in which money and other liquid assets such as bills of exchange and Treasury bills, generally of less than 12 months maturity, can be lent and borrowed in order to satisfy the short-term (from overnight to several months) cash flow requirements of banks and other institutions. Personal investors with large sums of money to deposit can also gain access to the money market via the commercial banks.
