what is the difference between bank rate and repo rate?..

Answer / encyclopedia

Both are basically the same. The Bank rate is the rate at
which commercial banks, which are temporarily short of
cash, can borrow from the Central Bank.The repo rate
enables holders of Securities, principally commercial
banks, to acquire funds from the Central Bank by selling
the securities and at the same time agreeing to repurchase
them at a later date at a predetermined price.
Increases in these rates indicate a desire for a
contraction in credit while decreases reflect a relaxation
of interest rate policy.

what is the difference between bank rate and repo rate?..

Answer / badri

Repo or Repurchase rate is the rate at which banks borrow
funds from the RBI to meet the gap between the demand they
are facing for money (loans) and how much they have on hand
to lend.

If the RBI wants to make it more expensive for the banks to
borrow money, it increases the repo rate; similarly, if it
wants to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money, it
reduces the repo rate.

Bank Rate

This is the rate at which RBI lends money to other banks (or
financial institutions)

The bank rate signals the central bank's long-term outlook
on interest rates. If the bank rate moves up, long-term
interest rates also tend to move up, and vice-versa.
