What is the current CRR and SLR rate of Bangladesh for 2012?

crr=6% slr=19%


Where is the crr money being kept?

CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) money is held by commercial banks in the form of reserves with the central bank, typically the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in India or the Federal Reserve in the United States. This reserve requirement is a percentage of the bank's total deposits and is maintained to ensure liquidity and stability within the banking system. The funds are not available for lending or investment by the banks and serve as a safeguard against potential bank runs or liquidity crises.


How the slr and crr influence the Indian business?

RBI lends to the commercial banks through its discount window to help the banks meet depositor's demands and reserve requirements. The interest rate the RBI charges the banks for this purpose is called bank rate. If the RBI wants to increase the liquidity and money supply in the market, it will decrease the bank rate and if it wants to reduce the liquidity and money supply in the system, it will increase the bank rate. As of 5 May, 2011 the bank rate was 6%.Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR): Every commercial bank has to keep certain minimum cash reserves with RBI. RBI can vary this rate between 3% and 15%. RBI uses this tool to increase or decrease the reserve requirement depending on whether it wants to affect a decrease or an increase in the money supply. An increase in Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) will make it mandatory on the part of the banks to hold a large proportion of their deposits in the form of deposits with the RBI. This will reduce the size of their deposits and they will lend less. This will in turn decrease the money supply. The current rate is 6%.Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR): Apart from the CRR, banks are required to maintain liquid assets in the form of gold, cash and approved securities. Higher liquidity ratio forces commercial banks to maintain a larger proportion of their resources in liquid form and thus reduces their capacity to grant loans and advances, thus it is an anti-inflationary impact. A higher liquidity ratio diverts the bank funds from loans and advances to investment in government and approved securities.


How can you control the liquidity in system with CRR?

With Cash Reserve Ratio the Commercial Banks can keep money in Central Bank. So that amount of money keeps intact coz the commercial bank do not retain that with themselves. So if in a case the commercial banks need money they can easily opt for the aforesaid invested money with central bank.


What happens when reserve bank of India lowers the cash reserve ratio?

When the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lowers the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), banks are required to hold less cash in reserve against their deposits, allowing them to lend more money. This increase in liquidity can stimulate economic activity by encouraging borrowing and spending. It may also lead to lower interest rates, making loans more affordable for consumers and businesses. However, if done excessively, it could raise concerns about inflation and financial stability.
