Interbank call rates remain unchanged at its previous close of 8.05/8.10%, on reporting Friday, as most banks had already covered their fortnight reserve requirements. However, call rates are expected to rise in the coming week, firstly due to the start of fresh reporting cycle and secondly because of potentially strained bank’s liquidity condition, after corporate borrow to make payments towards advance tax on December 15, 2012.
