Hello,

Money market refers to a market where money is lent and borrowed. It is concerned with interest rates, lending rates, bond markets etc. If someone says that money market is reeling under difficulties, it means it is difficult to get loans as there is not much liquidity in the economy. In such cases, interest rates tend to increase and money becomes dearer which means that one has to pay more interest to get loans.

Thanks,
