Money markets are wholesale cash markets through which banks, corporates and government bodies fund short-term deficits and invest short-term surpluses - so-called, liquidity management. A wholesale market is a market involving professional counterparties (banks, large corporates and government bodies) and large deal sizes. The borrowing and lending in money markets is high volume, low risk and short-term. Short-term is generally understood as ‘less than one year’, although, in fact, most money market activity is concentrated in terms to maturity between overnight and one-week.
