What is ‘Repo Rate’ ?
The rate at which banks borrow money from the Reserve Bank is called the ‘Repo Rate’. An increase in the repo rate means an increase in the rate of lending to banks from the Reserve Bank. A reduction in the repo rate means that the bank gets cheap money. This means that if the Reserve Bank of India increases the repo rate, then the loan of the common people increases and if there is a cut, then the installments of the loan will decrease.
