RBI Increases Liquidity Support as Cash Tightens and Borrowing Rates Rise
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has increased liquidity support amid tightening cash conditions in the banking system, which have raised short-term borrowing rates. According to an ICICI Bank report, surplus liquidity declined sharply due to GST payments, higher cash reserve requirements, and other factors. The RBI has conducted variable-rate repo auctions, including a Rs 1 lakh crore seven-day operation, to ease pressure. Rising oil prices are also impacting government bond yields, with concerns over inflation influencing market dynamics.
