RBI Decreases Repo Rate

Interest for the short-term loans for banks is decreased by quarter percent, announced by RBI. Currently the interest rate is 7.25 percent and it is reduced to 7.50 percent. Banks cash reserve ratio will remain at the current 4 percent. Due to this cut in repo rate, banks are expected to cut interest rates for vehicle and housing loans.

What is a Repo Rate?
  • Repo rate is the rate at which our banks borrows money from Central Bank(RBI). 
  • Whenever the banks have any shortage of funds they can borrow it from RBI. 
  • A reduction in the repo rate will help banks to get money at a cheaper rate. 
  • When the repo rate increases, borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive

The term Repo has been derived from the word repurchase which literally means selling today and buying back at a later time.To be specific  it means Repo trader sells securities, gets funds for a certain specific time, and after this time period. purchases back the securities by paying the previously taken funds along with some interest for the said period. The securities in question basically act as an insurance against borrower's default. A forex money market also works on the same repo terms.

Repo rate is the medium through which RBI infuses funds in the system.
If the repo rate is decreased borrowin of money from RBI(central banks) goes up whereas if it is increased borrowing of money comes down.

Simply in other terms, A bank is a Financial institution which accepts CAPITAL from public as a savings and lends those CAPITAL to public who seeks money.

Banks play an important role in the financial system and the economy. As a key component of the financial system, banks allocate funds from savers to borrowers in an efficient manner.

And how the bank get money to provide loan to customer??
