PHAROS VIEW

Financial Conditions Index — A marginal rebound in September: The Pharos Financial Conditions Index (FCI) rose slightly in September as the yield curve slope dipped further into negative territory. Real broad money supply growth stabilized in September, partly due to the annual inflation rate’s marginal deceleration to 31.6% in September from 31.9% in August. The real effective exchange rate appreciated by 2.0% in September, while the overnight interbank spread was nearly unchanged as the average daily overnight interbank interest rate recorded 0.3% below the mid-corridor policy interest rate in September. This was offset however by a decline in yields for the second consecutive month. However, the 10-year yield decline was larger than the drop in the 3-month yield. Such a pace led the slope of the yield curve to record -4.0% in September (versus -2.5% in August), reflecting a tighter liquidity. You can read the full report here (pdf).
