Export Credit Refinance Facility (ECR) relaxed in India

This will provide additional liquidity support to banks of over `300 billion.

The rate of interest charged on the ECR facility will continue to be the prevailing repo rate under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility(LAF), which is currently 8.0 per cent.

At present, the Export Credit Refinance ECR limit is fixed at 15 per cent of the outstanding rupee export credit eligible for refinance as at the end of the second preceding fortnight.
