Can you please elaborate more on buying and selling of short term and long term securities through Operation Twist?
abhijeet singh rathore
i have a doubt on q.4 . can somebody please elaborate.
statement 2 : It is carried out to bring down long term interest rate by selling the security maturing in the long term which in turn bring down the interest rate in that period.
statement 3 : RBI has sold securities maturing in the short term and bought securities maturing in the long term.
so, which is it, long term securities were sold or short term?
Nitesh Gughane
Hi Abhijeet… Securities maturing in short-term were sold.
Ishita Trivedi
Statement 2 is wrong in their explanation.
Buy long term sec–> Prices of sec goes up–> Yield/interest rate comes down–> encourages investment in long gestation projects

You are right Ishita. There was a mistake in the explanation of the statement 2. It has been corrected now.
