Intraday repo transactions are repurchase agreements that are initiated and concluded within the same trading day. These short-term agreements allow financial institutions to borrow or lend cash against securities for very brief periods, often just a few hours. They are primarily used by banks to manage their short-term liquidity needs and optimize their reserve positions with central banks. Such transactions are vital for maintaining smooth functioning in money markets.
