The repo rate changes, cash reserve ration tends to change and these changes affect the banking products like Fixed Deposits, loans etc.
Recession - When unemployment in a country crosses the benchmark set Recession hits, and slowly the country faces an economic slow movement, affecting the purchasing power of the people in the country, forcing the Reserve Bank of India to release more funds in the financial market.
