Monetary Policy, Liquidity & Inflation
Monetary policy is one of the most frequently tested parts of Banking Awareness, but it is also one of the most commonly misunderstood. Students often memorise that "repo goes up, loans become expensive" without understanding the operating framework that connects the Monetary Policy Committee, RBI liquidity operations, overnight money-market rates, bank funding costs, lending rates, spending and inflation. This module builds that chain properly.
Recommended prerequisites: Module 01 - Money & Banking Foundations; Module 03 - Reserve Bank of India.
