This was accompanied by an 11.8% fall in the number of transactions. Meanwhile, the average interbank rate rose marginally to 9.94%, from 9.91%, further reflecting lower liquidity compared to the previous week.

This was largely attributed to the reduction in the Central Bank Rate (CBR) and the narrowing of the interbank rate corridor from \u00b1150 basis points to \u00b175 basis points relative to the policy rate.
