With reference to the Indian economy, “Collateral Borrowing and Lending Obligations” are the instruments of :

  1. Bond market
  2. Forex market
  3. Money market
  4. Stock market
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Money market

Answer: C. Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation (CBLO) is a MONEY MARKET instrument. CBLO is a money-market product introduced by Clearing Corporation of India Ltd (CCIL) in 2003 for short-term funds. It allows borrowing and lending against eligible collateral (mainly G-Secs) with maturities ranging from one day to one year. Discontinued in 2018 and replaced by the Tri-party Repo (TREPS). CBLO/TREPS are short-tenor instruments serving banks, mutual funds, insurance companies and other institutions for liquidity management. The money market deals with such short-term debt instruments (typically less than one year), as opposed to bond market (long-term debt), forex (currency), or stock market (equities).
