CURRENT STATISTICS

EPW Research Foundation

Settlement volumes of the forex segment, as reported by the CCIL, have registered a 9.1% growth to $1,179 billion during the 1 April to 12 June 2015 period from $1,080 billion in the corresponding period of 201415 due to a
sharp increase in the volumes of Forward, Tom and Cash segments. Trading activity in the Collateralised Borrowing and Lending Obligation segment has also recorded a significant 27.7% growth during the same period. But,
trade volumes of government securities in the secondary market have witnessed a 5.1% fall on account of a 9.5% reduction in outright volumes.
