Définitions

anglais

Where customers of a bank have lost confidence in that bank or they have heard rumours about the loss of liquidity of the bank, they will, all in one day or a short period of time, try to withdraw their balances. Unless there is some support either from other financial institutions or the central bank, a bank could effectively have to close its doors. [Klein, Gerald. Dictionary of Banking. Pitman Publishing, 1995].
