RBI Sebi allow IRFs on 91-day T-bills
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India's central bank, and capital market regulator Securities and Exchanges Board of India (Sebi) on Monday allowed the introduction of interest rate futures (IRFs) on 91day treasury bills (Tbills) issued by the Union government. IRFs are an agreement to buy or sell an underlying debt security at a fixed price on a fixed day in the future, and the prices of these derivatives mirror the rise and fall in the yield of the underlying government bonds. Unlike overnight interest rate swaps, IRFs have to be traded on exchanges rather than over the counter.
