Interbank call rates, the rates at which banks borrow short-term funds from each other, were trading higher 7.23% from its previous close of 6.96% on Tuesday, on continued liquidity tightness following outflows towards corporate advance taxes last week. The demand remained typically higher in the first half of the reporting fortnight as banks borrow more than their mandated requirement to avoid a last minute scramble for funds.
