Explanation

During the 2008 financial crisis, financial markets became strained and money was harder to access, so the money supply became less liquid. Lending and credit largely froze, and banks struggled to borrow the cash they needed to keep operating. Consumer spending did not increase dramatically, and banks were not finding it easy to meet loan demand.
