Abstract

Capital markets are created with the goal of allocating and equipping resources, and one of the most important tasks of these markets is to provide liquidity. A minimum of liquidity is essential for the survival of the capital market.  Given that liquidity is considered a type of risk for financial assets and in recent decades has been considered by many economists, so the study of monetary and fiscal policy shocks and their effect on liquidity is important. It is a significant step in orienting the capital market. In this study, using the Structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model, the impact of monetary and financial instabilities on the liquidity of energy industry stocks has been investigated. The data used are 43 companies active in the energy industry on the stock exchange for 2008  to 2018. The results indicate that monetary and financial instability have a negative impact on the liquidity of energy-intensive industries.
