The Challenges in Liquidity Management in Moroccan Banks
Author: Dina ELOITRI
Abstract
The current paper focuses on the banking sector and banks’ liquidity in the Moroccan interbank market, in particular. The volatility of liquidity was the result of an excess in the money supply within the interbank market before 2007. Right after that year, and after the subprime crises, the interbank market suddenly reached a point of zero liquidity, and the banks started to request refunding from the central bank. This demand has been increasing each week, and until this day, the Moroccan banks haven’t succeeded in solving this problem, neither by satisfying the lack of liquidity, nor with the excess cash in their treasuries.
