• Commercial Bills: Their operation is similar to that of the bill of exchange. Businesses issue them short-term money requirements that also provide liquidity.
• Certificate of Deposits: It is usually issued through a promissory note and is a negotiable term deposit accepted by commercial banks. The duration of commercial papers is usually from 3 months to 1 year. If issued by a financial institution, then it is for a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 3 years.
• Commercial paper: Corporates issue CPs to meet their short-term working capital requirements. Hence serves as an alternative to borrowing from a bank. Also, the period of commercial paper ranges from 15 days to 1 year. The Reserve Bank of India lays down the policies related to the issue of CP. As a result, a company requires RBI‘s prior approval to issue a CP in the market. Also, CP has to be issued at a discount to face value. And the market decides the discount rate.
• Call Money: It is a segment of the market where scheduled commercial banks lend or borrow on short notice (say a period of 14 days). In order to manage day-to-day cash flows. The interest rates in the market are market-driven and hence highly sensitive to demand and supply. Also, interest rates have been known to fluctuate by a large % at certain times.

Money Market Topper’s Notes for JAIIB: Conclusion

The money market provides the government with non-inflationary sources of funding. Issuing treasury bills is one way to raise short-term loans. However, this does not result in price increases.

The term “money market” refers to all organizations and institutions that deal with or facilitate dealings in short-term debt instruments. Money markets began as a dull corner of the capital market where three businesses financed short-term trade and working capital many years ago. Since then, they’ve grown in size with the help of securitization and structured finance to rival the volume of credit intermediated through the banking system, taking on massive maturity mismatch, credit risk, and liquidity risk in the process. The disastrous role of money market finance in the credit cycle should prompt a reconsideration of the above permissive regulatory rulings, so that money markets do not become the financial fuel for a future disaster.
