What are repo and reverse repo rates?

The rate at which the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lends to banks is called the repo rate. With these loans, banks give loans to their customers. This means that interest rates on loans are lower when the repo rate is lower and banks can raise interest rates when the repo rate rises. On the other hand, the reverse repo rate is the exact opposite of the repo rate and is the rate at which the RBI pays interest on deposits from banks. Liquidity in the markets is controlled by reverse repo rate.
