| | sight or demand institutional deposits | Explanation:
"Institutional" is more UK, and "corporate" is more USA, financial English. And there's a comma missing between "entidades" and "a la vista", in my opinion.-
Paul's answer is also a good one, phrased differently.
Cheers, Ronnie.-

7 mins confidence:  demand (sight) or term deposits (from corporates)
Explanation:
these are short term deposits....either demand...that is, there is no restriction on drawing...and term like CDs, etc. where there is higher rate but a penalty if funds are withdrawn before term.
this relates to corporate rather than individual deposits...entidades

DEPOSITOS DE BANCOS CENTRALES
DEPOSITOS DE ENTIDADES DE CREDITO
Depósitos de la clientela
These identify the counterparty...depending which side of the balance sheet...with whom the deposit is placed (assets) or from whom the deposit is received (liabilities).

I am not sure, however, if the entidades here refers to "entidades de credito" (banks) or simply companies and other entities (maybe a fund etc.) rather than an individual.

Asker: Okay, I think I'm parsing the sentence wrong - you're telling me that "depositos de entidades a la vista o Liquidos" is an instrument. I was reading it like "deposito" was a certificate of deposit and "entidad a la vista" was some kind of institution that issued the certificate. I guess I'm asking you which words actually go together here, because I've clearly got it wrong!!! Thank you so much for helping -
Asker: But "entidades a la vista", I don't get the a la vista.

Asker: Thank you, I think that knowing about the missing comma has helped me immeasurably. Being unfamiliar with the terminology, I wasn't sure what a la vista modified. Thank you.
