उत्तर
The bank rate is the rate at which the central bank lends money to banks.
Bank Rate as a method of Credit Control:
Any change in bank rate affects the lending rates of commercial banks. Consequently, the cost and availability of credit also changes in the market.
- A low bank rate (in a situation of deflation) encourages the banks to keep small proportion of their deposits as reserves since borrowing from central bank is now cheaper than before. As a result banks use a greater proportion of their funds for giving out loans to the borrowers. Thus, money supply increases in the economy.
- The central bank raises the bank rate in a situation of inflation. As a result, cost of credit increases, which in turn discourages the flow of credit. As a result, money supply decreases.
