From the internal point of view, since 1998, long-term accumulation of huge stock of money is to understand the key to the current excess liquidity. When the residents of asset structural adjustment to reduce the increase in monetary assets held by non-monetary assets, will lead to lack of effective demand for money. Excess liquidity will not only create asset price bubbles and the potential risks to the financial system, also caused distortions in the economic structure, on the real economy deeper impact. Liquidity surplus could be defined as the situation which money supply stock exceeds effective money demand stock from the view of money economics.
