RBI credit policy
•
In its efforts to keep inflation under check and
spur economic growth, the RBI has a quiver
full of arrows that it uses to control the flow of
money into the economy:
•
Bank rate is the rate at which RBI lends to
commercial banks. This influences the interest
rates commercial banks charge their
customers. 
Contd..
•
The cash reserve ratio stipulates the minimum
proportion of deposits that banks must hold
with the central bank. When the RBI increases
the CRR, banks have fewer funds to lend or
invest since they have to park more money
with the central bank, helping it control
liquidity in an economy
•
Statutory liquidity ratio defines the minimum
proportion of their deposits that banks have
to maintain at the close of business every day
Contd..
•
Repo rate is the rate the central bank charges
to lend to banks against securities. If banks
have to pay more to borrow money, they may
increase the rates they charge their customers
or may borrow less, thus reducing inflation.
•
Reverse repo rate is the rate at which the RBI
borrows money from banks. So if the RBI hikes
the reverse repo rate, banks will be happy to
keep more funds with the RBI since they get a
higher rate of return. 
Mobilization of savings for
Investment
•
the mobilization of savings entails three
distinct operations :
•
firstly, the increase in the saving ratio ;
•
secondly, the process of collecting savings
from the savers ; and,
•

borrowers for investment.

markets has suggested that there might be

book into which amounts saved are recorded
by group officials;
•
The group should open a groups savings
account into which all members' savings will
Industrial sickness

industrial company (being a company
registered for not less than five years) which
has, at the end of any financial year,
accumulated losses equal to, or exceeding, its

•

world stock of FDI, a four-fold increase since

•
The main recipients of FDI have been profit-
seeking producer services which range from
network-intensive services such as electricity,
telecommunications, and transport to finance
