GK and monthly revision
India's banking system liquidity surplus hits over 4.5-year high at Rs 7.76 lakh crore
India's banking system liquidity surplus surged to Rs 7.76 lakh crore, the highest in over 4.5 years, driven by record foreign exchange inflows. This excess liquidity has significantly eased short-term interest rates. The RBI is managing the surplus through temporary reverse repo operations. Experts predict the surplus will moderate by Q3 FY27 due to seasonal factors like advance tax outflows and currency demand.
