15 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Interbank call rates stayed unchanged at its Friday’s close of 7.10/20% despite the start of fresh reporting fortnight. However, call rates are expected to rise in the coming day as demand picks up. But, government borrowing through the ways and means advances (WMA) from the central bank, which has kept the banking system liquidity deficit within the central bank's comfort zone, are likely to limit a sharp uptick of call rates.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 92360 crore through repo window on July 15, 2013, while banks through special LAF borrowed Rs 36140 crore through repo window and parked Rs 660 crore via reverse repo window on July 12, 2013.

The overnight borrowing rates touched a high and low of 7.35% and 7.10% respectively.
