Banks manage liquidity by trading funds on the money markets and adjust their portfolios by buying and selling financial instruments on securities markets. These markets are important for the proper transmission of monetary policy. Turbulence on these markets or a malfunction of technological infrastructures can spread quickly, with potentially devastating effects on the stability of individual banks or of the whole financial system.
