In money market, short term (less than one-year maturity), highly liquid and debt instruments are traded. State Development Loans (SDL) have a maturity of more than a year.

Cash management bills, Treasury bills and Certificate of deposits are debt instruments with less than one year maturity.

Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a negotiable/tradable money market instrument (a kind of Promissory Note) and issued in dematerialised form against funds deposited at a bank or other eligible financial institution for a specified time period.

(It is different from the Deposit certificates that individuals get when they deposit money in a bank that is non-tradable).

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

a) (ii) only

b) Both (i) & (ii)

c) (i) only

d) Neither (i) nor (ii)

Answer: (b)

RBI keeps the repo rate high or increases it when the inflation in the economy increases.

When "inflation expectation" of the people is high, i.e. they are expecting that in future inflation will increase, then such a behaviour of the people ultimately leads to higher inflation in the economy due to which RBI increases the repo rate.

So, both the statements are true.
