Monetary Policy: Presented by Ajith Yeshwanth Uttham Kumar Vijay Thompson Amity Global Business School

Monetary policy involves a central bank controlling the supply of money in an economy to achieve objectives like stable prices and low unemployment. The goals are maintaining stable prices and low unemployment. Monetary policy can be expansionary or contractionary. Expansionary policy increases the money supply to reduce unemployment during recessions, while contractionary policy decreases the money supply to reduce inflation. In India, the Reserve Bank of India implements monetary policy through tools like the bank rate, cash reserve ratio, statutory liquidity ratio, repo rate, and reverse repo rate. The recent quarterly monetary policy review increased the repo rate and reverse repo rate to sustain anti-inflation efforts.

TOOLS OF MONETARY POLICY IN INDIA
• BANK RATES
• CRR
• SLR
• REPO RATE
BANK RATE
• Bank Rate is the rate at which
RBI  allows finance to commercial
banks.
• Bank Rate is a tool, which central
bank  uses for short-term
purposes.
• Any upward revision in Bank Rate
by central bank is an indication
that banks should also increase
deposit rates as well as Prime
Lending Rate.
• This any revision in the Bank rate
indicates could mean more or
less interest on your deposits and
also an increase or decrease in
your EMI.
CRR
• RBI uses CRR either to drain
excess liquidity or to release
funds needed for the economy
from time to time.
• Increase in CRR means that banks
have less funds available and
money is sucked out of
circulation. 
• Thus we can say that this serves
duel purposes i.e. it not only
ensures that a portion of bank
deposits is totally risk-free, but
also enables RBI to  control
liquidity in the system, and
thereby, inflation by tying the 
hands of the banks in lending
money.
SLR
•  SLR stands for
Statutory Liquidity
Ratio.
• This term indicates  the
minimum percentage of
deposits that the bank
has to maintain in form
of gold, cash or other
approved securities.

per cent to 5.25 per cent with immediate effect.

monetary actions and outcomes in the face of
persistent inflation risks.
• Rein in rising inflationary expectations, which
may be aggravated by the structural nature of
food price increases.
•  Be moderate enough not to disrupt growth.
