Question : 3
Inflation redistributes income and wealth in favour of :
a) Middle class
b) Rich
c) Pensioners
d) Poor
Answer »Answer: (b)
A group of economists including Keynes is of the opinion that inflation, in one form or the other, is a factor that helps economic growth.
Usually, it is argued that inflation tends to redistribute income and wealth. The redistributive effect of inflation is always in favour of the profit-earning class, that is to say, it redistributes income always from the wage-recipient class towards the profit-recipient class in the community.
As a result, the saving ratio will increase because the marginal propensity to save of the profit earners is generally high as against the high marginal propensity to consume of the wage- earners because of their near-subsistence level of income.

- The banks can dip into their SLR portfolio to borrow from RBI
- It provides a safety valve against unanticipated liquidity shocks
a) (i) & (iii) only
b) (iii) only
c) (i) & (ii) only
d) All of the above
Answer »Answer: (d)
Marginal Standing Facility (MSF):
It is a facility under which scheduled commercial banks can borrow additional amount of overnight money from the Reserve Bank by dipping into their Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) portfolio up to a limit (2% of SLR) at a penal rate of interest which is above the repo rate
MSF rate = repo rate + 0.25%
This means that if a bank is keeping the minimum SLR requirement of 18.25% and it wants money/cash from RBI then, the bank can offer say 2% of the SLR reserve (securities) to RBI and can get money/cash from RBI. This provides a safety valve against unanticipated liquidity shocks to the banking system.
(This 2% has been raised to 3% because of the COVID-19 LOCKDOWN issue which resulted in liquidity crisis). For a detailed understanding, follow the telegram channel “Vivek Singh Economy”.
