In News:
- The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently conducted a bond buyback operation that witnessed strong demand from banks and financial institutions.
What is a Bond Buyback?
- A bond buyback is a monetary operation where the RBI purchases government securities (G-Secs) from the secondary market before their maturity.
- It is a non-standard liquidity management tool, unlike repo or reverse repo.
Objectives of Bond Buyback:

Why Banks Respond Strongly?
- Banks facing tight liquidity due to Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) and Credit-Deposit mismatch prefer to sell G-Secs to RBI for cash.
- With lower lending demand, they offload bonds to RBI for portfolio rebalancing.
Recent Context:
Amid tightening liquidity and slow credit growth, the RBI is using buybacks to:
- Inject funds into the banking system.
- Support long-term yields.
- Reduce market pressure from high upcoming government borrowings.

- It signifies a life-threatening situation where immediate assistance is required.
Origin & Etymology:
- Coined in the early 1920s by Frederick Stanley Mockford, a radio officer at Croydon Airport, London.
- Derived from French: “m’aider” meaning “help me”.
- Introduced for ease of understanding between English and French-speaking pilots and ATC.
Timeline:

How is it Used?

- This repetition helps distinguish it from regular communication and ensures clarity in noisy environments.
