''Cash management''.
1. ''Noun''. A non-financial business organisation usually, but not always, being a company.


Cash that is surplus to a business's requirements but unable to be used.
2. ''Adjective''. Relating to a large organisation, often a profit seeking organisation (including banks and other financial institutions).


Blocked cash often arises when a group has an offshore subsidiary which has accumulated cash as profits (or through the sale of capital assets) but is not permitted to distribute the cash to its parent as a dividend, loan repayment, interest, or capital reduction.
3. ''Adjective''. Relating to the more formal (or even bureaucratic) aspects of large profit seeking organisations.


Outside of regulatory disputes, cash becomes blocked because it is the host country's intention that surpluses be used for re-investment in the country. This is a trap which can be suffered in emerging markets where offshore investors had assumed that the domestic economy would develop to enable free movement of capital or to provide further investment opportunities to develop distributable profits.
