Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) – The inter-bank call money market rates remained stable during the week, ended on Thursday, treasury officials said.
The call money market rates ranged between 14 percent and 22 percent throughout the week. Most of the deals traded at 20 percent.
The call money rate shot up 22 percent at the maximum on December 7 last, indicating emergence of a fresh ‘temporary’ liquidity pressure in the money market.
The central bank has continued its move to squeeze liquidity supply through repurchase agreement (REPO) auctions and high rate of interest on special REPO made the money costly, a private banker said.
“The rising trend of call money rate may continue in the near future,” the banker said without elaborating.
