Bonds Lose Shine
BANKS HAVE REDUCED their government securities (G-Secs) holdings in view of tight liquidity conditions and fluid geopolitical situation, according to market participants. Banks sold around ₹1 lakh crore worth of government bonds in recent open market operations (OMOs) conducted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), but bought G-Secs worth ₹10,000 crore from the secondary market, thereby reducing net holdings by ₹90,000 crore, traders said.
G-Secs are a form of deposit that banks hold to maintain their statutory liquidity ratio (SLR), or the minimum reserve requirement of 18% of their net demand and time liabilities.
