August 5, 2022 (MLN): The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Friday injected Rs996 billion into the money market through reverse repo purchase.

As per the SBP statement, of the Rs996bn injected amount, Rs157.75bn was injected for 7 days while the remaining Rs838.25bn was for 63 days at a 15.09% rate of return.

The last time SBP conducted a 63-day-long OMO was on July 29, 2022, where it injected Rs1.19 trillion into the market. SBP usually conducts longer tenure OMO to ease liquidity constraints of banks and bring down secondary market yields.

At present, the policy rate stands at 15%.
