Characteristic of a financial asset referring to the ease with which it can be transferred on the secondary market. Therefore, high liquidity of securities is a key statistic for the investor who anticipates selling before maturity. In general, the liquidity of securities is greater when the volume issued is greater - the system of clearing and payment being more efficient (that is to say, the system of implementation of contracted transactions) - and when the costs of making transactions and the relevance of legal or financial obstacles to making them are lower.
