In order to improve transparency and safety of money markets, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will rationalize existing regulations covering different money market products. It has issued regulations over time covering different money market products - call money, repo, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and other debt instruments with original maturity of less than one year.
A well-functioning money market is a crucial link in the chain of monetary policy transmission, apart from being a basic necessity for pricing and liquidity in other financial markets. To create market infrastructure for fair pricing for foreign exchange users, it has also proposed to set up a foreign exchange trading platform for retail participants. The platform will be available to users for transactions from early August 2019. The trading platform has now been developed by the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) and is being tested by users.
The RBI further decided to set up an internal working group to review the current liquidity management framework and suggest measures to simplify it and clearly communicate the objectives, quantitative measures and tool kit of liquidity management by the RBI. The Group is expected to submit its report by July 2019.
