3.9 Table 3.2 presents the trends in the components as well as the sources of growth of broad money. 3.10 Table 3.3 shows the trends in the components as well as sources of reserve money. On the side of components, the decline in reserve money reflected the impact of CRR reduction effected in May 1999 and November 1999 whereas on the side of sources of reserve money growth this is explained by the decline in RBI credit to banks and commercial sector, which outweighed the relatively lower growth in net RBI credit to Government. However, seasonal factors tend to raise the currency-deposit ratio in the second half of the financial year. CRR reductions on M3 growth is likely to be moderated by higher currency deposit ratio in the latter part of 1999-2000.
