What is REPO Rate?

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) loans money to commercial banks at a rate of interest known as the repo rate. The term “repo” refers to a repurchase agreement or a repurchasing option. By selling qualified securities, banks can obtain loans from the central bank (the RBI). The central bank and the commercial bank will reach an agreement to repurchase the securities at a set price. When banks are short on funds or need to maintain liquidity under volatile market conditions, this is done. The repo rate is used by the RBI to keep inflation under control.

What is Bank Rate?

The bank rate is the interest rate that a central bank charges when lending money to a commercial bank. A bank can borrow money from a country’s central bank in the event of a fund shortage. That would be the Reserve Bank of India in India.

What is Reverse Rate?

The reverse repo rate is the rate at which a country’s central bank (in this case, the Reserve Bank of India) borrows money from domestic commercial banks. It is a monetary policy tool that can be used to control the country’s money supply.

What is Marginal Standing Facility Rate?

The MSF rate, or Marginal Standing Facility rate, is the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India lends money to scheduled commercial banks that are experiencing severe liquidity shortages. Banks can obtain overnight cash from RBI by paying the exclusive MSF rate, which differs from the Repo rate.
