What is the repo rate?

 

If we understand the repo rate in simple language, it is the rate of loan given by the Central Bank to the rest of the banks of the country. Banks also provide loan facilities to customers at this rate. If the central bank decides to reduce the repo rate, it means that the bank gives home loans, vehicles, and other loans to customers at lower interest rates.
