Web Exclusive: Yields in bond market expected to remain at current levels
Despite reasonably comfortable liquidity conditions, the long term bond yields have inched up significantly during the last few months. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond surged by almost 100 basis points between April 17, 2009 and and September 10, 2009. The huge Government borrowing programme for the current fiscal to fund the mounting fiscal deficit has largely been responsible for the spike in the G-sec yields. The net market borrowing of the Central Government through issue of dated securities in FY10 is estimated to be Rs 3,97,957 crore, of which the Government has raised Rs 2,43,911 crore so far (up to September 4, 2009; including Rs 28,000 crore of MSS de-sequestering).
