Cash to which access is limited, particularly in the case of non-domestic subsidiaries and joint ventures.

Cash can be trapped by exchange controls, tax, accounting, legal, lender or other restrictions.

Bank cover ratios and tax laws which prohibit full distribution have a similar cash-trapping effect.
