Kemal Aditya

Abstract


This paper aims to examine the role of local currency bond markets repo in Indonesia s financial market. The role of Bond Repo in Indonesia is mainly for central bank monetary operation and short-term liquidity management by banks. The counterparties in the Indonesia repo market are predominantly the Indonesian central bank and banks. Based on the nature of the transactions and the range of market participants, the bond repo market in Indonesia is still in an early stage of development. This paper also aims to explain the pricing phenomenon of the interbank repo market versus interbank call money in Indonesia Based on market data we have collected from 2016 until June 2021, General Collateral repo rates are priced at a similar level or occasionally higher compared to interbank call money. Repo market research in other countries in Asia has been used as literature reference to help explain the behavior. Factors such as excess liquidity condition, market segmentation, limited market participation, and high dependency on other money market instruments may have influenced this situation.
