Call money rate rises to 5.03%

The rising trend in interbank call money rate continues as the country’s banks on Monday borrowed from each other at an overnight rate of 5.03%, equaling the previous peak recorded on 16 June 2020. The call money rate was stable at 5.02% in the previous five days, according to the Bangladesh Bank. The overnight call money rate is the rate at which banks lend funds to each other at the end of the day in the overnight market. Industry insiders have said if the supply of money does not increase, the cash shortage may exacerbate ahead of Eid-ul-Azha. Speaking with treasury heads of several private banks, The Business Standard has learned that a lot of money has gone to the Bangladesh Bank from the banking channel because of buying US dollars from the central bank. As a result, banks are left with reduced liquidity.
