Banks cut CD borrowings by Rs 1.3 lakh crore in a month amid RBI liquidity boost

·Economic Times·Impact 4/5 · High

Indian banks have cut their borrowings from certificates of deposit by a significant Rs 1.3 lakh crore in just one month. This reduction in CD borrowings is largely due to a boost in liquidity provided by the Reserve Bank of India's foreign currency deposit scheme. The resulting decrease in the need for short-term funding has led to lower call rates, which is beneficial for the economy. This development is a positive sign for the Indian market, as lower funding costs can help stimulate economic growth.
