what actually LAF is????????

A tool used in monetary policy that allows banks to borrow money through repurchase agreements.

This arrangement allows banks to respond to liquidity pressures and is used by governments to assure basic stability in the financial markets.

Liquidity adjustment facilities are used to aid banks in resolving any short-term cash shortages during periods of economic instability or from any other form of stress caused by forces beyond their control.

Various banks will use eligible securities as collateral through a repo agreement and will use the funds to alleviate their short-term requirements, thus remaining stable.
