Question 6

In a scenario where the Indian economy is experiencing persistent inflationary pressures despite robust growth, which of the following actions is the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) most likely to undertake to stabilize prices and manage liquidity?

Accepted Answer

D. Increase the Reverse Repo Rate to absorb excess liquidity from the banking system. — To combat persistent inflationary pressures, the RBI typically adopts a contractionary monetary policy. Increasing the Reverse Repo Rate incentivizes commercial banks to deposit their surplus funds with the RBI, thereby absorbing excess liquidity from the system. This makes borrowing more expensive for banks and, consequently, for businesses and consumers, helping to curb inflation. Reducing the Repo Rate or CRR, or purchasing government securities through OMOs, would inject liquidity and further exacerbate inflation.

Answer

A. Reduce the Repo Rate to encourage commercial banks to borrow more from RBI.
