About Interbank Money Market

Interbank Money Market (Lending and Borrowing)

The interbank lending is a market in which banks lend funds to one another for a specified term. Most interbank loans are for maturities of short-term period. Such loans are made at the interbank rate.

Banks are required to hold an adequate amount of liquid assets, such as cash, to manage any potential bank runs by clients. If a bank cannot meet these liquidity requirements, it will need to borrow money in the interbank market to cover the shortfall. Some banks, on the other hand, have excess liquid assets above and beyond the liquidity requirements. These banks will lend money in the interbank market and earn interest on the assets.
