RBI Monetary Policy
- Monetary policy involves actions taken by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to control money supply and interest rates.
- The main goal of monetary policy is price stability (controlling inflation), supporting economic growth, and maintaining financial stability.
Key Aspects of Monetary Policy
- Inflation Control: The RBI uses tools like repo rate (rate banks borrow from RBI) and reverse repo rate (rate banks deposit money with RBI) to control inflation. Higher repo rates make borrowing more expensive, reducing spending and thus inflation.
- Liquidity Management: The RBI manages the amount of circulating money through mechanisms such as Open Market Operations (OMOs). Buying or selling government securities injects or absorbs liquidity into the market.
- Credit Flow: Adjusting the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) influences how much banks can lend out. These proportions of deposits held in reserve impact credit availability.
- Growth Support: Reducing interest rates encourages borrowing and investment, boosting economic activity, especially during economic downturns.
