02 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Interbank call money rates were trading steady at its Monday’s close of 8.00/8.05% as better supply ensured that demand was easily met at the start of a new reporting fortnight. Month-end spending by the government, which was mostly in the form of staff salaries, mainly led to the improvement in the cash condition, thereby negating the surge of call rates. As demand is typically strong in the first week of  reporting fortnight as most banks prefer to meet mandated reserve needs early on to avoid last-minute rush for funds.
