(as defined under Paragraph RM-3.1.1)

Liquidity risk is the risk that even where an insurance licensee has adequate capital resources, it lacks available resources to meet liabilities when they fall due. Liquidity risk can result from claims falling due earlier than anticipated, higher than expected policy surrender or changes in mortality rates.
