These payments result from the international trade in goods and services, as well as from the flow of capital between one country and another.International liquidity refers to the accepted rules official measures regulating the imbalance in international payments[1]. Another variant of international liquidity aggregates either wide measures of the money supply or credit. If the interest rates are low and lenders ris appetite has been increased, the loan may seems easy to get, so liquidity is sometimes used as a synonym for loan[2].
Governments and central banks, such as commercial banks and non-financial corporations, wanted more "liquidity assurance" - that is to say they would have adequate international liquidity to protect themself against the financial crisis[3].

- They must avoid unreasonable load for liquidity providers
