In a bid to reduce fears of liquidity crunch in the economy, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said that there is surplus liquidity in the system, and it would ensure adequate liquidity in the system by using various available instruments depending on market conditions.
To ensure durable liquidity, the central bank is going to conduct another open market operation (OMO), after one OMO which was already conducted in the previous week. The RBI also eased statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) requirement with effect from October 1, 2018, which would supplement the ability of individual banks to avail of liquidity, if required, from the repo markets against high-quality collateral and consecutively, improve the distribution of liquidity in the financial system as a whole.
Concerns of liquidity crunch were triggered following defaults by an IL&FS group company. It spread to non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), which in turn roiled financial markets.
