Important Banking Terminology:
1. Bank Rate: The interest rate at which at central bank lends money to commercial banks. Often
these loans are very short in duration. Managing the bank rate is a preferred method by which central
banks can regulate the levelof economic activity.
Lower bank rates can help to expand the economy, when unemployment is high, by lowering the cost
of funds for borrowers.
Conversely, higher bank rates help to reign in the economy, when inflation is higher than desired.
2. Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) is a monetary policy tool which allows banks to borrow money
through repurchase agreements. LAF is used to aid banks in adjusting the day to day mismatches in
liquidity. LAF consists of repo and reverse repo operations.
3. Repo Rate: Whenever the banks have any shortage of funds they can borrow it form RBI. Repo
rate is the rate at which commercial banks borrows rupees from RBI. A reduction in the repo rate will
help banks to get money at cheaper rate. When the repo rate increases borrowing form RBI becomes
more expensive.
4. Reverse Repo Rate: Reverse Repo rate is the rate at which RBI borrows money from commercial
banks. Banks are always happy to lend money to RBI since their money is in the safe hands with a
good interest. An increase in reverse repo rate can cause the banks to transfer more funds to RBI due

is that it earns some extra income on its otherwise idle cash.
5. CRR (Cash Reverse Ratio): CRR is the amount of funds that the banks have to keep with RBI. If
