No. Certificates of deposit should be classified as cash equivalents or short-term investments. This is because there are usually restrictions or penalties on these securities when they are converted to cash.
A cash equivalent is a short-term investment in marketable securities that can be sold very quickly (three days or less in an active exchange); its purpose is to provide some level of return on excess cash that would otherwise be sitting in a bank account. To that extent that the cash equivalent can be thought of as operating cash on hand, and not as an investment. If, on the other hand, a company bought marketable securities to hold for investment purposes over the long-term that would be investing. Given that the purchase of cash equivalents is related to operating activities it is accounted for in cash flows from operating activities. The investment in marketable securities "held for investment" would be treated as an investing activity.
It is the amount which a bank has to maintain in the form of cash, gold or approved securities. it is presently 25%.
