What is the repo rate?
The Repo rate is the rate at which banks are lent by RBI. Banks give loans to customers with this loan. Now the low repo rate means that many types of loans from the bank will become cheap. While the reverse repo rate is the exact opposite of the repo rate. The reverse rate is the rate at which banks receive interest from the RBI on deposits. Liquidity in the markets is controlled through the reverse repo rate. That is, stabilizing the repo rate means that the loan rates from banks will also be stable.
Economy hopes to improve
Governor Shaktikanta Das said that real GDP growth could decline by 9.5% in FY 2021. He said that now the focus of RBI is more on revival after Covid-19. He says that the recent economic data are showing signs of economic recovery. This is due to the improvement in the rural economy and the increased economic activities due to the festive season.
Das said that in FY 2021, grain production has increased. On the other hand, there has been a growth in construction due to the concessions being received from the government in unlocked. Apart from this, migrant laborers are also returning to work. However, inflation may remain above its target in September. Apart from this, there are also strong signs of recovery in the global economy. There has been a recovery in manufacturing and retail sales in many countries. Apart from this, there are also signs of improvement in consumption and exports.
