RBI Monetary Policy Review
♦ The RBI, however, decided to reduce the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) by one
percentage point to 24% with effect from December 18. SLR is that portion of
deposits which that banks park in government securities.
Expected Outcome of Policy Measures
♦ The permanent reduction in the SLR by 1% of NDTL coupled with the additional
liquidity support under the LAF will inject liquidity in the system sufficient to
maintain the projected growth rate of the domestic economy.
♦ The RBI’s policy measures are expected to bring down the liquidity deficit in the
system to a level close to RBI’s comfort zone and stabilize interest rates in the
overnight inter-bank market which is nearer to the operative policy rate of the apex
bank.
♦ The consumer spending is expected to be boosted as banks will not have the
inclination towards further rate hikes which can make consumer lans costlier.

the liquidity situation:

(SCBs) from 25% of their Net Demand & Time Liabilities (NDTL) to 24% with
effect from December 18, 2010; and
b) Conduct an open market operation (OMO) auctions for purchase of
government securities for an aggregate amount of ` 48,000 crore in the next
one month, to pump in liquidity into the system.
♦ The above two measures are expected to inject liquidity on an enduring basis of the
order of ` 48,000 crore.
♦ Due to the permanent reduction in the SLR by 1% of NDTL, the additional liquidity
support under the LAF announced by the Reserve Bank on November 29, 2010 will
now be available up to the extent of 1.0% (instead of 2.0%) of the NDTL of SCBs
from December 18, 2010 to January 28, 2011.
