Bank tightens loans as Reserve hits liquidity limits
Government responds to 8 percent inflation by mobilizing 100 million from private banks. Sir John Phillips says Statutory Reserve Deposits will rise in two steps this month, requiring banks to redeem 7.6 percent of deposits by April 17 and the rest by April 30. Each increase unlocks about 40 million, freezing liquidity and shrinking weekly money supply. SRD level has fluctuated since 1969 with prior rises and falls through 1970s. Parliament had noted a firmer inflation path in the March quarter.
