Mr. Uday Kotak, Vice-Chairman, Kotak Mahindra Bank opines that interest rates are likely to firm up by the end of the year and in one or two years, the reverse repo shall move from the current level of 3.25% to 4-4.5%.
Reverse repo refers to the rate at which the RBI borrows funds from banks. When the reverse repo rate goes up banks park more funds with the central bank and as a result, funds for public lending comes down, leading to costlier bank funds for corporates and individuals.
He has also said that RBI might gradually tighten the monetary policy along with exit from the fiscal stimulus, with the levels of inflation and growth.
