liquidity
Assets easily converted
Liquidity is how easily an asset converts to cash without losing value.
Cash itself is perfectly liquid; a house is not—selling takes time and may require price cuts.
In financial markets, liquidity describes how quickly securities can be bought or sold: The stock has good liquidity.
A company's liquidity is its ability to meet short-term obligations.
During crises, liquidity can vanish as buyers disappear.
