The market Liquidity indicates the level at which properties in the market such as the stock market or the property market in the city can be bought or sold at stable prices. Cash is considered to be the most liquid while property, fine art and all other collectibles are relatively low liquid.

standards of Liquidity

Cash is considered standard for liquidity as it can be converted fastest and easily in other properties. If a person wants to buy a TV of 25000, cash is the property in return for which it can be easily purchased. Now, if he has 25,000 ornaments, he may have some difficulty in buying a TV by giving them these ornaments. He will first have to raise cash by selling jewellery which may take some time. 

Then he can buy a TV with that cash. So, we can say that liquidity of cash is more than jewellery.

Liquidity in the market

In the example above, you saw that it is almost impossible to buy a TV instead of jewellery because there is no market where jewellery and TV are exchanged. 
There is so much liquidity of shares available in the stock market that buyers and sellers are available for any stock almost immediately and the deals are settled at a faster pace. The real estate market has much lower liquidity than the stock market.

There are times when property may have to be sold at prices lower than its market prices due to non-availability of buyers in the market. Whenever you invest in a asset, always keep in mind how much liquidity there is in that asset and there will be no difficulty in selling it.

These loans are usually going to increase the demand for goods. This increased demand causes inflation to rise. That is why RBI controls this liquidity by changing interest rates and CRR from time to time.
