RBI's Moves: Your Investments' Future
The RBI (India's central bank) makes decisions that affect how much money is available and how expensive it is to borrow.
Changes to the repo rate (the rate at which banks borrow from RBI) impact interest rates and the economy.
Changes to the CRR (how much cash banks must keep with RBI) affects how much banks can lend.
The RBI also uses tools like OMO and VRR to manage short-term money flow.
These actions influence how your investments in stocks, bonds, and gold perform.
