THEMATIC STUDY

INDIAN CD MARKET: 2013 -2019

Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a negotiable money market instrument issued primarily by

Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCB) in India (excluding Regional Rural Banks and Local Area Banks)

and some select All-India Financial Institutions (AFI), as permitted by the Reserve Bank of India

(RBI). CD was introduced by RBI in 1989 following recommendations of the Vaghul Committee on

Call Money Market (1987). Successive Committees appointed by RBI had made various

recommendations to make the Call Money Market as a banks-only market, thereby restricting

access to non-bank financial companies and non-financial corporates. CDs allowed the non-bank

participants to deploy their surplus funds in a short-term instrument with the underlying credit

risk being that of the issuing bank. This note is a descriptive study of the secondary market of CDs

for which data are available with the CCIL. The period covered is from January 1, 2013 to July 31,

2019.

Section I: Salient Features of the Indian CD Market

During the 79 months of the period covered under this study, 8,998 CDs traded in the secondary

market. Since CDs are issued with maturity of one year or less, any trend in the volume of trade

by year of maturity of traded CDs should reflect the trend in issuance of CDs. Maturity year-wise

breakup of the number of traded CDs shows a clear decline from a peak reached in the year 2014.

The number of traded CDs maturing in 2017 was almost one-third of those maturing in 2014. The

number of CDs maturing in 2018 increased only marginally vis-à-vis the number maturing in

2017.The precipitate decline in 2017 is easily explained by the avalanche of liquidity that hit the

Indian Banking Sector in the wake of the demonetization in November 2016.

In terms of volume traded also, there was a steep decline after 2014 and the declining trend

continued till 2017. In 2018 the volume increased by 38% as compared to the year before. Still

the volume clocked in 2018 formed only 63.7% of the peak volume reached in 2014. The first 7

months’ data for 2019 shows a significant pick-up in volume but it still was 22% lower than the

volume traded in the same period in 2014. Apart from the demonetization in November, 2016,

slowing down of credit growth of banks after 2014 also contributed to the falling volume of CD

market in the recent years.

As regards bank groups, Public Sector Banks (excluding SBI group, PSB henceforth) and the Indian

Private Sector Banks were the major issuers of CDs. However, SBI did not issue any CD during the

period of this study. Foreign banks have also been a minor player in the primary issuance market.

Public sector AFIs like NABARD, SIDBI and EXIM Bank became significant issuers of CD only after

2014.

There were only 30 banks which had issued more than 100 CDs during the period under study.

The largest number (574) of CDs was issued by Axis Bank, followed by Kotak Mahindra Bank (517)

and IndusInd Bank (499). Among the PSBs, Oriental Bank of Commerce had issued the highest

number of CDs (456).

In terms of daily trading activities, CDs issued by the Indian Private Sector Banks and PSBs were

traded on the highest number of days, totaling 1585 and 1468 days for these two bank groups

respectively.

1 Data is up to July 2019. For 2019 growth rates of deposit and credit are based on July 2019 data over July 2018 data. The data source is from Database on Indian Economy published by RBI. 2 Same as 1. above

The aggregate volume of secondary trades in CDs issued by these two groups of banks ranges

between 89% - 95%. Bank-wise share in total traded volumes during the period of study shows

that CDs issued by top 30 banks accounted for 92.8% of the total traded volume. CDs issued by

Axis Bank continue to be the most-traded CDs in terms of volume. Two PSBs, namely Canara Bank

and Oriental Bank of Commerce together contributed 13.7% to total volume clocked by PSBs

during the study period. However, their issuances in the CD market have declined significantly

after 2015.

Maturity bucket-wise analysis of number and volume of secondary trades:

FBIL publishes benchmark CD rates for 7 non-overlapping residual maturity buckets, each bucket

representing a maturity band (see Annex Table A5).

For the entire study period, the first 3 buckets (maturity up to 71 days) accounted for 57.4% of

total number of trades and 58.7% of total volume of trades. The share of the last 3 buckets shows

steep decline between 2013 and 2018, except for a sudden spurt in 2016, both in terms of

number as well as volume of trades.

Except for the public sector AFIs, it may be seen that all other bank groups’ traded CDs were

concentrated in the first four buckets, i.e., having maturities less than 116 days.

Trend in Yields:

The yearly average yield of traded CDs declined consistently between 2013 and 2017, from 8.95%

to 6.28%. Thereafter, it rose to 7.06% in 2018 and then fell again to 6.94% during the first 7

months 2019. The declining trend in CD yield largely followed the declining trend in policy rate

of RBI.

A comparison of yields of different issuer types shows that the CDs of PSBs commanded higher

price/ lower yield as compared to the other 3 types. As regards CDs issued by the associate banks

of SBI and Small Finance Banks, which were not traded during the entire period, it is observed

that while CDs of the associate banks of SBI traded at yields lower than those of PSBs, the

opposite was the case in respect of CDs of Small Finance Banks, reflecting the respective groups’

credit risk characteristics.

Bucket-wise Yields:

The bucket-wise yield movement, given in the table below, shows a declining trend across the

maturities between 2013 and 2017 and a reverse trend between 2017 and 2019. The increase in

yield between 2017 and 2018 was much pronounced for the 5th and 6th buckets, to the tune of

113 and 120 basis points respectively. Interestingly, the share of trades in these two buckets

were overwhelmingly concentrated in the CDs of two bank groups, namely DFI and Indian Private

Sector Banks. In fact, CDs of PSBs falling under the 5th bucket did not trade during the whole of

2018. The relevant data is given in the table below.

Yield Volatility:

Daily volatility in yields of CDs has many determinants including depth of the market, range of

issuer-ratings and extent of variation in the liquidity positions of the issuers. Volatility has been

calculated based on standard deviation of weighted average daily yields of CDs with a given

maturity year. The following table gives frequency distribution of volatility (measured in basis

points).

It is seen that 2015 was the least volatile period while 2013 registered the highest volatility

followed by 2018 and 2014. Incidents of high volatility is probably more due to the shallowness

of the market than variations in the credit ratings of the issuers.

Traded Yield Spread between CDs of Indian Private Sector Banks and PSBs:

In view of the fact that Indian Private Sector Banks and PSBs have been the largest and regular

issuer of CDs during the study period, an analysis of the spread of the secondary market yields in

respect of these two bank groups has been done. A priori, PSBs should have lower risk and their

CDs should trade at lower yield as compared to those of Private Sector Banks. The trend in spread

during the study period, given in the following graph, largely confirms this expectation. It may

also be seen that in the post demonetization period the spread started moving up and became

more volatile.

A similar conclusion can be drawn from a summary of the year-wise movement in the spread,

given in the following table. The bucket-wise summary of the spreads is given in the Annex. It

may be seen therefrom that the spreads are highly volatile in the maturity buckets 4 and 5, with

residual maturities in the range 72-115 days and 116-200 respectively.

by both the supply and the demand side factors driving the market. Cohan (1973) while analyzing

the CD market in the USA, noted that “a bank would set its interest rate on negotiable CDs on

the basis of a set of considerations involving competing asset yields, changes in the strength of

loan demands and the availability of funds from other sources”. The present study is based on

the secondary market data, on the basis of which indirect evidence can be provided about the

determinants of CD rates. Summary features of data on CD yields, Repo Rate and T-Bills primary

yields along with other determinant factors for the period under the study are given in the

following tables and graphs.

It may be seen from the above graphs and table that all the three rates, viz. CD yields, 182-day T-

bills primary yields and Policy Repo rates trace similar trajectories over time. As regards supply

and demand factors, we have considered 3 variables, namely, Excess Reserve maintained by

SCBs, Credit and Deposit growths of SCBs. Excess reserves and deposit growth are expected to

reflect the supply side conditions while credit growth should reflect demand for fund. The Repo

Rate and T-bill Rates are expected to capture the desired money market interest rate term

structure of the policy makers. For T-bills, we have considered 182-day T Bill as data for all the

months covered in the study are available for this maturity. Since all data are at a highly

aggregate level, the results of statistical analysis given below need to be evaluated with caution.

If a determining factor turns out to be statistically insignificant, it need not be the case that for

all bank groups the results would be the same. However, the statistical significance of a factor

would be a confirmation of the impact of the factor at a more granular level.

After analyzing the time series properties of the variables under study (for details see the tables

in Annex), the following regression results summarize the effect of the identified determinant

factors on the observed monthly average CD yields. The validity of the time series regression has

been tested by appropriately examining the stationarity of the residuals.

CD Rate=0.833* + 0.334***Repo Rate + (-)0.003Excess Reserve + 0.075***Credit Growth + (-

)0.014Deposit Growth + 0.524***182T-Bill Rate

It can be seen that the coefficients of all the explanatory variables are of proper signs. However,

Excess Reserve and Deposit Growth turn out to be statistically insignificant. The most important

determinant of average CD yield turns out to be Credit Growth, a demand side factor. Significant

positive impact of Repo Rate and T-Bill rate in a contemporaneous regression indicates that

interest rates of all money market instruments are co-integrated with policy rates. It also implies

that policy rate transmission is effective on the liability side of balance sheets of Indian banks.

Concluding Remarks:

The Indian CD market provides a window of investment opportunity in money market

instruments. In this descriptive essay, the behavior of this market has been presented based on

instrument-level daily traded data on volume and yield, spanning a period of 6 and a half years.

This is also the period during which Repo Rate - the main policy rate used by RBI, mostly had

followed a downward trajectory, except for a period of 15 months ending on December 2014 and

another period of 8 months ending on January 2019. In tandem with this downward trend in

policy rates, CD yields also declined. Volume-wise a sharp downward trend in the secondary

market yield for CD is observed as well. The traded volume of CDs in 2017 was less than half of

the volumes clocked in 2013 or 2014.

The issuance of CDs was led by a few Public Sector Banks and Indian Private Sector Banks.

Interestingly, SBI, the India’s largest Bank was largely absent from the CD market. The Public

Sector Banks reduced their participation in the CD market in 2017 and 2018, with share of their

issuances going down to as low as 12.5% in 2017. However, the first half of 2019 saw a sharp

revival of their participation.

Bucket-wise, most of the issuance was concentrated in the first four buckets - that is with

maturities less than 115 days. However, in respect of the trades in CDs issued by Development

Finance Institutions, the residual maturities were in the last 3 buckets.

Amongst the various factors reflecting demand and supply side determinants of the observed

secondary CD yields, it appears that the ‘demand for fund’ dominated the ‘supply of fund’ , given

the impact of policy rate changes and the yields of competing assets. The statistical exercise

underlying this observation is based on aggregate data and would need more analysis of issuer-

level data for confirmation.
