Clarifcation Jane, I'm sorry. I meant I think we wouldn't say strong pressure in the case of liquidity, not in general. Strong pressure is the first thing that came to my mind but it just sounds unusual to me. That's why I posted the question.

By the way, I already pointed out that liquidity pressure is commonly used.
I really do appreciate your help, its just that I'd rather find a different adjective.

The edison electric thingie is NOT FOREIGN...Just because a phrase is not exactly the same does not mean it is not good. Strong pressures is everywhere in financial texts....strong competitive pressures , strong pricing pressures...are used everywhere..

strong pressure... Hi Jane,

I know its liquidity and I know tensi�n is generally "pressure" but I'm looking for a translation of the the phrase. "Strong pressure on liquidity" only gets four hits and they are foreign webs. I think maybe it's because we wouldn't say "strong pressure". "Liquidity pressure" gets lots of hits but I can't think of an appropriate adjective. Any other ideas would be appreciated :-))))

tension is PRESSURE...in English: They need liquidity for trading.

After Enron's bankruptcy, credit counterparty credit risks took center stage. This was accompanied by a drop in trading transactions and increasing concerns of liquidity pressures.

Katherine,

I don\'t understand your objection: the phrase strong pressures is perfectly journalistic and used in many texts. It\'s also used in sites talking about the electricity market. Liquidity is something that market needs for trading...Liquidity is everywhere on those sites dealing with electricity...also, the main site I quoted to you is far from \'\'foreign\". So, I really don\'t understand your objection. If strong competitive pressures works, and strong pricing pressures works, why wouldn\'t strong pressures on liquidity? I mean, not every phrase one translates is going to have exact collocation. I suggest you look at the article in the magazine above. That\'s the best I can do.

Here\'s a final reference for you. From the UK on the USA market. What could be more authoritative than the BANK OF ENGLAND??
