capital

Capital rationing is a situation, whereby, the funds available for completing a project are limited.
It is a situation where a constraint or budget ceiling is put in place on to the total size of capital expenditure under the assumption that the availability of financial resources is quite limited.
It is a financial strategy used by companies or financial institutions or investors to limit the number of projects to be taken up at a time. If there is a pool of available investments which are expected to be profitable, the strategy of capital rationing provides the investors with the most profitable one to choose from.
