What is liquidity.what are the advantages and disadvantages of liquidity?

Liquidity refers to how easily an asset can be converted into cash without significantly affecting its price. The advantages of liquidity include the ability to quickly access funds for emergencies or investments and the reduced risk of holding assets that may be difficult to sell. However, disadvantages can include lower potential returns on highly liquid assets, as they often offer less yield compared to less liquid investments, and the risk of market fluctuations affecting the value of liquid assets.
