Substitution of securities in term repos under the liquidity adjustment
facility
April 18, 2017
i.
For a
successful bid of Rs.200 crore in 14 day Term Repo auction on April 18,
2017, a participant provides a Central Govt. security 8.40% GS 2024 worth
Rs. 208 crore market value (including 4% margin for Central Government
security).
ii.
The
dirty price of the security is calculated based on the latest file
published by FIMMDA i.e. of April 17, 2017. Assume the price to be Rs.110.
iii.
Therefore,
the face value of security 8.40% GS 2024 that is debited from Repo
Constituent (RC) account (after rounding-up) would be Rs.189.091 crore (208
x 100 /110).
April 20, 2017
iv.
The
participant chooses to substitute
Rs.100 crore face value of
the security 8.40% GS 2024 with a new security 8.83% GS 2023 on April 20,
2017.
v.
The
dirty price of 8.83% GS 2023 would be based on the latest available FIMMDA
price in the system i.e. the file published on April 19, 2017. Assume the
price to be 115.
vi.
The
amount of security 8.83% GS 2023 which has to be provided by the market
participant in his Repo Constituent in order to substitute the security 8.40%
GS 2024 would be calculated as follows:
Required face value of new security to be substituted =
(Market Value of the security intended to be withdrawn, i.e. 8.40 % GS
2024, based on April 17, 2017 price) x 100 / (latest market price of the
security offered as substitution, i.e. 8.83% GS 2023, based on April 19,
2017 price = 110 * 100/115 = 95.652
vii.
Therefore,
in order to substitute Rs.100 crore face value of security 8.40% GS 2024,
the participant has to provide Rs. 95.652 crore face value of new security
8.83% GS 2023.
State Government security
viii.
If a
State government security is offered for substitution, then it would
attract 6% margin as hitherto.
