government spending after the polls has injected fresh liquidity into the banking system, bringing down overnight borrowing rates, Treasury Bill yields and, in turn, short-term financing costs for Indian companies, even as the central bank seems to be in no great hurry to lower policy rates. After being at or above the Reserve Bank of India’s repo rate of 6.50% in May and June, the overnight weighted average call rate (WACR) has averaged 6.39% so far in July, more than 10 basis points lower than the benchmark policy rate, an analysis of daily central bank data showed. One basis point is a hundredth of a percentage point. The key driver of the evident shift in banking system liquidity to a surplus from a protracted deficit has been a flow of government expenditure — of about Rs 1 lakh crore — over the past few days. “Government cash surplus (Centre and states), which had peaked at Rs 5.1 lakh crore as of May 24 after the RBI dividend, has reduced to Rs 2.1 lakh crore as of July 11, with a pick-up in the pace of government expenditure,” said Gaura Sengupta, chief economist, IDFC First Bank.

Bank of India is likely to tap the debt market next week to raise up to Rs 10,000 crore through infrastructure bonds and Bank of India may follow suit a week later to raise Rs 5,000 crore. Infrastructure bonds help lenders reduce their overall cost of funds amid an ongoing battle for deposits as these debt instruments are exempt from the regulatory requirement of maintaining cash reserve ratio (CRR) and statutory liquidity ratio (SLR). SBI, the country’s largest mass lender, is likely to raise the funds through 15-year infrastructure bonds, people aware of the developments said. The debt sale is likely to take place around July 10-11, they said. The upcoming bond sale comes on the heels of an infrastructure bond issuance by the bank on June 26, through which it had raised Rs 10,000 crore amid strong demand from institutional investors. “They (SBI) are likely to again opt for a 15-year maturity infrastructure bond as they wish to actively develop the longer-term yield curve for these instruments,” one of the persons cited above said. “They would likely be looking for a coupon rate of around 7.35-7.36%, similar to the one that was set at the last issuance.” Bank of India is likely to carry out its infrastructure bond sale around the third week of July, with the state-owned lender likely to opt for securities maturing in 10 years, people aware of the matter said.
