Abstract:
|
A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a short-term money market instrument used by banks to source funds from the public. Unlike a Bank term deposit, it is a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery. CDs are normally issued by banks to tide over short-term liquidity problems. Banks make these CDs more attractive by offering a comparatively higher rate of interest over the short-term deposit rates.
Yet these deposits do not have the momentum and market share they ought to have. This may be on account of lack of customer awareness of this type of product and the lack of an effective secondary market for CDs.
