Why Repo Rate Matters to You

The repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to banks.

• A higher repo rate makes loans (home, car, personal) more expensive.
• A lower repo rate makes borrowing cheaper for consumers.
  So, any change in the repo rate directly affects your loan EMIs and savings interest.

Conclusion

The upcoming MPC meeting is important for investors, borrowers, and the general public. All eyes will be on the RBI's inflation outlook and any signal about future rate cuts.
