Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the nature of the transaction
The requirement is for short-term, overnight interbank borrowing between commercial banks.
Short-term financial operations (maturities under one year) belong to the money market.
2
Identify the appropriate instrument
Call Money (money at call and short notice) is the principal instrument used by commercial banks for immediate overnight reserve balancing.
Debentures, Treasury Bonds, and Preference Shares are long-term capital market securities used for multi-year capital funding.
