Open Market Operations (OMOs) are a tool used by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to manage liquidity in the economy. OMOs involve buying and selling government securities (G-Secs) in the open market. The RBI uses OMOs to control inflation, boost economic growth, and keep bond yields at desired levels. 

How OMOs work? 

  • Selling G-SecsWhen there is excess liquidity, the RBI sells G-Secs to remove it from the system.
  • Buying G-SecsWhen there is a liquidity shortage, the RBI buys G-Secs to inject liquidity into the system.

Why OMOs are important?
