RBI's Liquidity Control Measures
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) uses various strategies to control liquidity in the banking system. These include raising interest rates, utilizing the reverse report rate and standing deposit facility, as well as engaging in open market operations (OMO) by selling government bonds. However, in April 2022, the RBI took a different approach by announcing a currency swap with banks, exchanging dollars for rupees. While this move removed a relatively small amount of money from the banking system, experts speculate that it may have been aimed at supporting the currency and preventing further depreciation of the rupee.
