Nepal Rastra Bank is going to withdraw 20 billion rupees today (Wednesday).
The Rastra Bank has started withdrawing the said amount today through the deposit collection tool after the amount (liquidity) available for lending to banks and financial institutions is high.
Since the liquidity in the market is of a long-term nature, the Rastra Bank has withdrawn 200 billion rupees from the market through 9 bonds in the last 2 weeks. The Rastra Bank has withdrawn the amount for one year through the bonds.
Last Sunday and today, another tool is going to withdraw 20 billion rupees for 63 days through deposit collection. For the last three years, the Rastra Bank has been withdrawing money from the market twice a week on Sundays and Wednesdays regularly.
In the past two weeks, when the Rastra Bank started withdrawing money from the market through bonds, the deposit collection tool was not issued. Now that the bonds will not be issued for some time, the Rastra Bank is going to withdraw 20 billion rupees through the deposit collection tool for about 2 months.
Banks and financial institutions who want to keep money in deposit collection can bid online until 2 pm today, according to the notice issued by the Rastra Bank. Only banks and financial institutions of category 'A', 'B' and 'C' will be allowed to participate in the bidding for deposit collection equipment. The National Bank has also stated that the deposit collection equipment purchased in this way can be used as collateral in other banks and financial institutions.
The Rastra Bank's notice states that the bidding can be done by dividing the deposit collection by a minimum of 100 million and a maximum of 50 million rupees, leaving the remainder. The bidding for deposit collection will have to be done at the interest rate, and the Rastra Bank's notice states that multiple bidding can also be done at multiple interest rates.
