Liquidity Trap:
A liquidity trap is defined as a situation in which prevailing interest rates are low and savings rates are high, making monitery policy ineffective. In a liquidity trap,
consumers choose to avoid bonds and keep their funds in savings because of the prevailing belief that interest rates will soon rise. As bonds have an inverse relationship to interest rates, consumers do not want to hold an asset with a price that is expected to decline.
