Short-Term Rates End Steady On BNM Operations

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 (Bernama) -- Short-term interbank rates closed steady today following Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) operations to absorb surplus liquidity from the financial system. 

Liquidity in the conventional system increased to RM22.70 billion from RM15.66 billion this morning, while liquidity in Islamic funds went down to RM18.70 billion from RM19.86 billion previously. 

Earlier, the central bank conducted two reverse repo tenders, an Islamic reverse repo and an overnight reverse repo tender. 

It also announced the availability of reverse repo, sell and buy-back agreements, and collateralised commodity murabahah facilities with tenors of one week, one month, and three months.

At 4 pm, BNM called for a RM22.7 billion conventional money market tender and a RM18.7 billion murabahah money market tender, both for three-day maturities.

The Malaysia Islamic Overnight Rate (MYOR-i) stood at 3.00 per cent as of Feb 13.
