Talk:Money market

How much of the world GDP is available in printed and coined money ?

Anybody knows where I can find that? Like in $ bills and $ coins and € bills and € coins, etc. and all that added up? I thought that is what is meant by the "Money market"? Thx. --SvenAERTS (talk) 01:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

what??

I thought the Tobin Tax was only proposed on foreign exchange transactions, not money market transactions. Unless I am wrong, this link does not belong here.

Is Vasai really that important as money center?

• No, it isn't. Someone on this page is clearly attempting to make India seem more important in the Money markets than it actually is. Mumbai, I understand. Goa... Vasai? Ridiculous.

Money Market Account

I was disappointed to find that Money Market Account is forwarded to this page (Money Market). This page contains no information relating to a Money Market Account. I am not qualified enough to start a page on it (or breaking the forward to this page), so if someone else would like to, I believe it would be beneficial to either add Money Market Account information to this page, or separate it into a new article.

I was looking for the same thing recently, too. It would definitely be more useful than this page. → JARED ^(t)  20:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Money Market Participants

The sentence " In the money markets, banks lend to and borrow from each other, short-term financial instruments such as certificates of deposit (CDs) or enter into agreements such as repurchase agreements (repos)." is contradicted later in the article. The money market has many participants other than banks. jiHymas@himivest.com 216.191.217.92 21:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

External Link

The howstuffworks article actualy talks about the money market depost account and should be moved there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.233.129.82 (talk) 03:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I moved it to Money market deposit account. Thanks. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 06:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Too Technical

This article is too technical. It has very convoluted sentences which the normal encyclopaedia user would not understand. One example is "These instruments are often benchmarked to LIBOR". There needs to be a lot more human readable explanations. Would somebody who knows what they are talking about (when it comes to this subject) contribute in this manner? --Davidkazuhiro (talk) 20:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I like to think I know what I'm talking about, but I don't consider this article too technical. I think the wikilinks go a long way to providing context and allowing the reader to catch up on terms and concepts they are unfamiliar with. For instance, if you don't know what LIBOR is, just click the link. Maybe it would be more productive if you singled out sentences that aren't clear and we can go through them one by one? -FrankTobia (talk) 21:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

More definition

For the uninitiated, I think it would be useful for some information on why money markets exist, e.g. where bodies such as banks, corporates and government fund short-term deficits and invest short-term surpluses (a good definition can be found on http://www.financial-guide.net/).Deanjmason (talk) 08:23, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

What's that list?

At the end of the first section there's a bullet list with 6 items. I cannot figure out what this is a list of. There should be some text telling this. __meco (talk) 12:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

History of the Money Market

It would be useful to have a section on the history of the money market — especially the development of banking and the money market in the late 17th and 18th centuries. 213.202.190.174 (talk) 13:53, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
