20 Sep 2013 Evaluate

Shares related to banking space are witnessing enormous amount of selling pressure after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has increased the policy repo rate by 25 basis points from 7.25% to 7.5% with immediate effect.

In a big shocker from the RBI new governor, Raghauram Rajan’s maiden Mid-Quarter Monetary Policy Review - September 2013, although the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate was reduced by 75 basis points from 10.25% to 9.5% with immediate effect, the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) has been increased by 25 basis points from 7.25% to 7.5% with immediate effect.

Further, Rajan reduced the minimum daily maintenance of the cash reserve ratio (CRR) from 99% of the requirement to 95% effective from the fortnight beginning September 21, 2013, while keeping the CRR unchanged at 4.0%. Thus, with the hike of repo rate, the reverse repo rate under the LAF stands adjusted to 6.5% and the Bank Rate stands reduced to 9.5% with immediate effect.
