FAQ RBI

The role of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in its own words, is “… to keep price stability, while remembering about growth goals.” This includes maintaining inflation rate at a stable level of 4%, mainly using interest rates. RBI also maintains a exchange rate at a level that will not cause excessive variability and problems for exporters and importers, because the India’s economy is very dependent on foreign trade, especially oil.

RBI formally meets at six two -month meetings a year to discuss its monetary policy and, if necessary, adapt interest rates. When inflation is too high (above 4%), RBI usually raises interest rates to stop loans and expenses that can support Rupia (INR). If inflation drops too far below the target, RBI may reduce rates to encourage more loans, which may be negative in the case of INR.

Due to the importance of trade for the economy, Bank Reserve India (RBI) actively intervenes on FX markets to maintain a confined exchange rate. He does it to make sure that importers and exporters are not exposed to unnecessary currency risk during periods of FX variability. RBI buys and sells a rupia on the spot market at key levels and uses derivatives to secure its positions.
