Repo rate is the rate at which banks borrow short-term funds from the central bank (RBI). A lower repo rate increases money supply and encourages growth, while a higher rate decreases money supply. Reverse repo rate is the rate at which the central bank borrows short-term excess funds from banks, absorbing liquidity from the system. In India, the RBI regulates the repo market and uses repos and reverse repos to manage liquidity. Currently, the repo rate is 8% and reverse repo rate is 7%.
