GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND maturing government securities have boosted the banking system liquidity, which has touched a four-year high, said market participants.
The system liquidity was at a surplus of 4.57 lakh crore on Wednesday, the highest in four years.
It has averaged %3.61 lakh crore so far in April, compared with %1.57 lakh crore in March, according to data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Liquidity was under pressure in March due to tax outflows and RBI’s forex interventions amid the rupee weakness, triggered by the West Asia wat.
“System liquidity has surged due to government spending and G-Sec redemptions.
