Under the monetary policy framework of the Reserve Bank of India, what fundamental operational feature distinguishes the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) from the traditional Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) Reverse Repo mechanism when absorbing excess system liquidity?

  1. The Standing Deposit Facility enables the central bank to absorb surplus liquidity without pledging government securities as collateral.Cevap
  2. B
    The Standing Deposit Facility injects durable liquidity into commercial banks while raising the statutory Cash Reserve Ratio requirement.
  3. C
    The Standing Deposit Facility requires commercial banks to transfer high-quality corporate bonds to the Reserve Bank of India in exchange for reserve balances.
  4. D
    The Standing Deposit Facility functions as the ceiling rate of the Liquidity Adjustment Facility corridor above the Marginal Standing Facility rate.

Cevap

The Standing Deposit Facility enables the central bank to absorb surplus liquidity without pledging government securities as collateral.
The Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) allows the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to absorb liquidity from commercial banks without transferring government securities as collateral. Unlike the traditional Reverse Repo facility where RBI pledges G-Secs, SDF removes collateral constraints, enabling flexible and large-scale liquidity absorption.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary purpose of the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) introduced by the RBI in 2022.
SDF was introduced under Section 17 of the RBI Act, 1934, as a liquidity management tool to absorb liquidity from the commercial banking system.
Understanding the function of monetary tools helps distinguish overnight standing facilities from open market operations.
2
Compare the collateral requirements of Reverse Repo versus Standing Deposit Facility.
Under Reverse Repo, RBI must provide government securities (G-Secs) to banks as collateral. Under SDF, no collateral is required from RBI.
Uncollateralized absorption prevents RBI's G-Sec holdings from limiting its capacity to manage massive surplus liquidity in the financial system.
3
Verify the positioning of SDF within the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) corridor.
SDF replaced the fixed-rate reverse repo as the floor of the LAF corridor at Repo Rate minus 25 basis points.
This establishes the lower bound of overnight interest rates while MSF forms the upper bound.
