We have implemented the policy in order to bring stability to the interest rates,” says Nar Bahadur Thapa, Executive Director of Research Department at NRB.</p> <p>NRB decided to implement the IRC mechanism to manage liquidity and to lend/borrow loans from banks and financial institutions (BFIs). It comprises of upper bound and lower bound of interest rates. The upper bound interest rate provides liquidity to BFIs whereas, lower bound mops the excess liquidity. Prior to the implementation of IRC, BFIs used to quote the interest rates. With the IRC in place, the central bank will now determine the rates. “IRC is being implemented in a bid to stabilise fluctuation of short-term interest rates as well as to manage excess liquidity in the market,” mentions Thapa.</p> <p>The concept of IRC was first introduced by the then NRB Governor Yuba Raj Khatiwada four years ago. However, it was not implemented. The present NRB Governor, Dr Chiranjivi Nepal once again initiated the IRC mechanism by announcing its implementation it in the monetary policy of the current FY. As per the IRC formulae, NRB will quote interest rate of the tool to be issued by reducing 0.10 percent from the interbank rate before two days. In order to implement corridor, the central monetary authority will issue liquidity mopping tool for two weeks from Wednesday. Presently, the market has excess liquidity of Rs 25 billion. According to Thapa, NRB will issue tool equivalent to Rs 20 billion.</p> <p>“The BFIs will have to deposit money in the set interest rate which will control the interest rates volatility,” he adds. The interest rate corridor has been fixed at 0.3045 percent for the current issue. </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2016-08-10', 'modified' => '2016-08-10', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '3999', 'image' => '20160810010319_nrb.jpg', 'article_date' => '2016-08-10 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '4165', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Janata Bank appoints NCM as Issue Manager', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'August 10: Janata Bank has appointed NCM Merchant Banking as its Issue Manager.
