RBI Monetary Policy and Banking GK Practice Quiz: Medium Level 2
This Level 2 set builds your understanding of how the Reserve Bank of India controls money supply and how the banking system works. It moves beyond definitions to effects of RBI tools, the Monetary Policy Committee, measures of money and RBI history in sequence. Aptitude360 gives an explanation with each question.
What the Money, Banking and RBI Level 2 set covers
- Functions of money, barter and why currency is fiat money
- Legal tender compared with cheques and demand deposits
- Effects of repo rate changes and open market operations on loans and money supply
- Composition of the Monetary Policy Committee
- High powered money and the narrow money measure
- Chronology of RBI history, nationalisation phases and demonetisation
- Collateral, terms of credit, Self Help Groups and the Grameen Bank
Monetary policy concepts worth revising
- High powered money is currency with the public plus vault cash of banks plus deposits held with the RBI
- Raising the repo rate makes borrowing costlier and slows credit growth
- Selling securities and raising CRR both reduce money supply
- The RBI issues notes on behalf of the central government; commercial banks do not issue currency
Preparation tips for medium-level banking questions
- For every RBI tool, practise saying the direction of its effect on money supply in one line
- Spot the odd one out by separating quantitative tools from qualitative ones like moral suasion
- Arrange RBI and banking events in order until you can do it without notes
