RBI to slow cash boost after $100 billion injection; surplus transfer eyed, say economists
The Reserve Bank of India is expected to slow its
liquidity infusion
after pumping Rs 8.57 lakh crore ($100.06 billion) into the banking system since December, with a large surplus transfer to the government expected soon, several economists said.
The central bank concluded its final scheduled open market bond purchase on Monday, and has not yet announced any more purchases. The
RBI
has been infusing liquidity since the last six months.
"
Dividend payment
to the government and subsequent
government expenditure
will release adequate funds into the system and there should be no need to infuse liquidity through OMOs (
open market operations
)," said Sandeep Bagla, CEO at Trust Mutual Fund.

Estimates for the upcoming surplus transfer range from Rs 2.5 lakh crore to Rs 3 lakh crore as per seven economists, though those at Citi expect a larger payout of between 3.5 trillion rupees and Rs 4 lakh crore.
The RBI has of late slashed its cash reserve ratio, followed by secondary market debt purchases, foreign exchange swaps and aggressive open market operations. It is expected to announce its surplus transfer to the government before the end of this month.
Live Events
"With the dividend payment, the core liquidity may cross Rs 5 lakh crore, which is a very high number. For the next three months RBI need not inject durable liquidity, they can look at OMOs may be from September onwards," said A Prasanna, head of research at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership.
Bond market
participants expect a pause in the recent price rally, with yields likely to consolidate after a sharp move.
The 10-year benchmark yield has dropped 38 basis points since the start of the financial year, following a 17 bps decline in the prior four months.
Shorter duration bond yields have seen a more significant drop, with the five-year yield down 57 bps since April 1 after easing by 26 bps in previous four months.
"We do not expect any more announcement for open market purchases in this month, and with expectation of terminal repo rate of 5.50%, the decline in the 10-year benchmark bond yield could bottom out around 6.15%-6.20% levels for now," said VRC Reddy, treasury head at
Karur Vysya Bank
