4 money at call and short notice
деньги до востребования или при краткосрочном уведомлении
Одна из статей активов в балансе банка. В нее включаются средства, переданные в займы дисконтным домам, брокерам на денежных рынках, на фондовой бирже, ведущим операции с благородными металлами, корпоративным клиентам/клиентам в промышленности и все чаще-другим банкам. Деньги до востребования выплачиваются по требованию; краткосрочное уведомление подразумевает, что требование об уплате выдвигается максимум за 14 дней. После наличности деньги до востребования и при краткосрочном уведомлении являются самыми ликвидными активами банков. Обычно эти деньги имеют форму приносящих процент обеспеченных долговых обязательств, но их основное значение заключается в том, что они дают банкам возможность использовать свободные фонды и регулировать свои потребности в наличности и ликвидности.
