INDONESIA - CAPITAL MARKETS - Sharia reverse repo offered to absorb liquidity

JAKARTA: Bank Indonesia (BI) says it is offering reverse repo for sharia banks and business units to reduce bank liquidity in the financial system.

Reverse repo transactions require banks to purchase at least Rp 1 billion (US$110,000) of government sukuk from the central bank and receive margins when they buy back at an agreed price after a specified time period, BI said in a statement published on its website on Tuesday.  (source)
