cash hoarding
Keeping currency idle
Cash hoarding is accumulating and holding onto money rather than spending, investing, or depositing it in banks.
The term often carries negative connotations—suggesting excessive or irrational behavior during economic uncertainty: Cash hoarding by consumers deepened the recession.
Businesses may hoard cash rather than reinvest, and individuals may stuff bills in mattresses rather than trust financial institutions.
