India to buy back 400 billion rupees worth of bonds, cenbank says
India will buy back 400 billion rupees ($4.80 billion) worth of securities, the country's central bank said on Friday. The securities offered for buyback are 6.18% GS 2024, 9.15% GS 2024 and 6.89% GS 2025, the Reserve Bank of India said in a statement. "The choice of securities suggests this buyback is a liquidity redistribution exercise by the government as they have clear visibility on their shorter-term funds," said Vivek Kumar, economist at QuantEco Research.
