Treasury Deposits and the E-Learning Funds are authorized to be invested only in Reverse Repurchase Agreement.
A repurchase agreement, also known as a repo, RP, or sale and repurchase agreement, is the sale of securities together with an agreement for the seller to buy back the securities at a later date. The repurchase price is greater than the original sale price, the difference effectively representing interest, sometimes called the repo rate.
