BC RBI MONETARY POLICY
Saved by @naveenksyal

In India, 'RBI' is responsible for 'Monetary Policy' through which it controls 'Inflation' and Economic Growth'.

In this thread, I am going to focus mainly on the role of RBI and how it uses ‘CRR’ and ‘SLR’ as two major tools to control economy. 🧵👇
(1/n)

 Let us first understand few basics before we dig into the details. (2/n)
👉The Businesses:
They are the producers of the goods and services. Any business would be happy if it is growing and the prices of the goods and services sold are ever rising. They would be more interested in ‘Economic growth’. (3/n)
👉The Households:
These are the people who are consumers and they spend money to buy goods/ services which are sold by the businesses. Any consumer would be happy if the prices of goods/ services are low. Hence, they would be interested in ‘Less Inflation’. (4/n)
As the prices of goods and services rise, there will be economic growth in nominal sense but then there will also be inflation which is perceived as a problem in developing countries like India. (5/n)
Hence, there has to be a proper balance between these two: ‘Economic growth’ and ‘Inflation’.

It is the job of 'Reserve Bank of India' to do this. (6/n)
Let us understand few more basic concepts before we dig in deeper.

A. More the demand of any commodity, the businessman will increase the price. Less the demand of any commodity, the businessman will decrease the price to attract the consumers. (7/n)
B. RBI is the apex bank and it controls the money supply in the economy. It basically mints the money and controls all the commercial banks. (8/n)
C. More the money supply in the economy would mean more money in the hands of the people.
More money would cause increase in the purchasing power and hence the demand would increase.
Now, you know that this will cause the price to increase (read point A). (9/n)
D. On the contrary, lesser money supply would cause the purchasing power of the people to fall.
Hence, there will be fall in the demand. And fall in the demand will cause the prices to fall (read point A). (10/n)
To summarize: (11/n)
Okay, now let us consider this analogy to understand the working of the economy smoothly. (12/n)
There is a flowing river whose water is being controlled by a dam. The engineer of the dam controls the gates of the dam to make sure that the water level is under control. (13/n)
Whenever, there is lack of water in the village, the gates of the dam are opened by the engineer to ensure that the people do not run out of water.
Also, care has to be taken by the engineer as opening all the gates would cause flood like situation in the village. (14/n)
Also, whenever, there is excessive rain, the engineer makes sure that the gates are well locked to avoid any excess supply of water. (15/n)
This is how the economy of the country is being controlled by RBI.
Here, the role of RBI is similar to that of the engineer of the dam. The water supply is akin to the money supply. (16/n)
The gates of the dam are various tools used by RBI to control the money supply in the economy. The village here would be the economy of the nation. (17/n)
So, basically RBI controls the money supply and maintains a balance between ‘Inflation’ and ‘Economic growth’.
This can be done using various tools. Let us discuss 'CRR' and 'SLR' here. (18/n)
1] What is CRR?
Ravi is a salaried person. He is married and has a 4 year old daughter.
Unfortunately, the daughter meets with an accident and she needs to be operated. (19/n)
Ravi was never prepared for such contingency. He approaches his father for the money. The father gives Ravi the needed money for the operation along with a life saving advice-
“Son, always keep some portion of your salary aside for such unforeseen contingencies.” (20/n)
Now every time Ravi gets his monthly salary, he keeps 10% of it with his father for future contingencies.
You see, here father is Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and son is Commercial Bank. (21/n)
Commercial banks keep a ‘certain portion’ of their deposits with RBI in the form of cash reserves in order to meet up with the liquidity crisis.
This ‘certain portion’ is known as CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio). (22/n)
When RBI increases CRR, more amount of cash would be required to be kept with RBI by the commercial banks from their public deposits.
This will lead to lesser money in the economy and hence fall in growth and inflation.
Opposite will happen when RBI decreases CRR. (23/n)
2] What is SLR?
Mr. Sharma loves to eat. Given a chance, he could finish a whole jar of cookies all by himself.
One fine day Mrs. Sharma realises that her husband was getting too fat eating all those unhealthy stuff. (24/n)
She decides to keep all the cookies in a cookie jar which could be locked using a timer.
Every time Mr.Sharma tried to eat cookies, to his disappointment the jar was locked. (25/n)
This really helped Mr. Sharma in killing his temptation to eat those delicious cookies and hence kept him healthy.

However, whenever he followed a healthy schedule, Mrs. Sharma would allow him to cheat and eat those cookies. This was the deal between them. (26/n)
Here, Mr. Sharma is Commercial Bank and Mrs. Sharma is RBI. The cookies locked in the jar is the SLR. (27/n)
SLR is statutory liquidity ratio.
A certain portion of the deposit received by commercial banks from public has to be kept by commercial banks with themselves so that the same reserve could be used in case of future contingencies. (28/n)
SLR is kept by banks in the form of gold, cash and other securities which can not be used by commercial banks for further lending.
This way, RBI is controlling the temptation of commercial banks to lend that portion to public. (29/n)
As Mrs.Sharma controlled Mr.Sharma in eating the cookies from the jar.
Whenever need arises, commercial banks can use the amount of SLR as Mr. Sharma was allowed to eat the cookies after following a healthy schedule. (30/n)
Higher the SLR, higher would be the deposit kept for contingencies.
Hence Banks would not be able to lend more money.
Lesser money in the hands of public would mean lesser purchasing power.
Decrease in purchasing power would bring down demand and hence reduce the prices. (31/n)
That's how RBI uses 'CRR' and 'SLR'. (32/32)

1. Let us first understand the role of Reserve Bank of India in managing the Indian economy.
There are two major elements of the Indian economy.

👉The Businesses:
They are the producers of the goods and services. Any business would be happy if it is growing and the prices of the goods and services sold are ever rising. They would be more interested in ‘Economic growth’.

👉 The Households: These are the people who are consumers and they spend the money to buy the goods and services which are sold by the businesses. Any consumer would be happy if the prices of the goods and services are low. Hence, they would be interested in ‘Less Inflation’.

2. As the prices of goods and services rise, there will be economic growth in nominal sense but then there will also be inflation which is perceived as a problem in developing countries like India.

A simple thread to help all understand ‘Futures and Options’ in an easy way. Though I would personally not recommend new investors to trade in F & O, but it is always good to know things. 👇🧵

#Investing #Investors #Options #Futures

1. What is a ‘Derivative’?
‘Derivative’ simply means a product which is derived or dependent on some asset. This asset is called as ‘underlying asset’.
Let me simplify this by putting this example.

Both ‘Coffee’ and ‘Tea’ require ‘Milk’ for their making (assuming that you drink it that way, of course) . Hence, if the price of ‘Milk’ increases, the prices of ‘Tea’ and ‘Coffee’ will also increase.


To sum up:
1.‘Milk’ is the independent product. So, it will be considered as ‘Underlying Asset’.
2.‘Tea’ and ‘Coffee’ derive their prices from the price of ‘Milk’. Therefore, these are ‘Derivatives’ of Milk.

Hence, the derivative of a company will derive its price from the price of the shares of a company. Thus, share of a company is the ‘underlying asset’.

A super simple thread to help everyone understand the concept of 'Fiscal Deficit' and what happens when government spends more than its receipts. 👇🧵

#fiscaldeficit #economics #financialliteracy

1. Let us understand everything bit by bit.
Say, Raju is a businessman. Now, like every businessman, Raju is ambitious and curious to know his profit. Hence, he keeps his accounts to calculate his profit.

2. Throughout the year, his total revenue was Rs.10 lakh and his total expenditure was Rs.8 lakh. Hence, Raju is having profit or surplus of Rs.2 lakh.

3. The next year, due to lack of demand, his revenue fell to Rs.7 lakh and his expenses increased to Rs.9 lakh. Hence, Raju is now having loss or deficit of Rs.2 lakh.

4. Now, let us replace ‘Raju’ with ‘Government’ and you get the concept of ‘Fiscal surplus/ deficit’.

While learning accountancy a student is taught to
👉Debit all expenses, credit all income.
👉Debit all assets, credit all liabilities.
👉Debit the receiver, credit the giver.
Why is it so?
Let us find out the rationale behind three golden rules of accounts. 👇🧵 (1/n)

'Balance Sheet' and 'Profit & Loss Account' are two important aspects to learn accountancy.
Let us first understand how to interpret a Balance Sheet. (2/n)

Balance sheet is a simple snapshot of ‘Sources of funds’ (‘Liabilities’) and ‘Application of funds’ (‘Assets’) as on a ‘particular’ day. (3/n)


It is important to note that the Balance sheet may change every day. That’s because the liabilities side and the assets side may change frequently.
Example: The customer from whom the amount was receivable (Debtor) will get converted into Cash the moment he pays money. (4/n)

Suppose a businessman starts a business with his own money (equity/owner’s fund) and uses this money to buy various assets. (5/n)

Layman’s explanation to PE Ratio and how it works.
A long thread! Do Bookmark this for patient reading.

#investing #investors #PEratio

1/ PE (Price Earning) ratio is one of the most important metric used by investors to make decisions while picking up stocks. But, more often than not, it is grossly misunderstood.
Let us decode this metric.

2/ Table of contents
•How to decide what to buy?
oCase A: Case A: Fresh Apple vs Stale Apple
oCase B: Costlier Fresh Apple v/s Cheaper Fresh Apple
oCase C: Apple vs Orange
•How to read PE ratio
•How is PE Ratio misunderstood?
•When will PE Ratio not work?

3/ How do you decide, what to buy?
Case A: Fresh Apple vs Stale Apple


You go to a market and buy an apple. You have a choice to make.
Apple ‘A’ is fresh and juicy. Apple ‘B’ is clearly stale. Apple ‘A’ costs you ₹.20 while Apple ‘B’ costs you only ₹.10.

An interesting set of games that I've been vaguely interested in since I was a kid, after seeing one at a friend's house and never being able to find it again, was the BATTLES IN A DISTANT DESERT/BATTLES ON DISTANT PLANETS series.


These are turn-based wargames for windows 3.x, sharing the same engine.
Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)


and Battles on Distant Planets is from 1991, and takes place in SPACE!
I'm pretty sure this is the one I played as a kid.


They've got 3 options to play with:
* Player vs. Player
* Player vs. Computer
* Computer vs. Computer

So it's a 0-2 player game!


They also did a DOS strategy game called "STARDATE 2140.2: GALACTIC CONQUEST" in 1990, but it seems to be lost.
All the games share an experimental AI system based on neural networks.

I present to you all, my (possibly) superthread On how and why the Unknown God from Genshin Impact, and The Herrscher of Void/God Kiana/Sirin from Honkai Impact!

First off! We’ll start with the obvious things that constitute a possible connection.

They share the same Japanese Voice actress! Rie Kugimiya.
Usually this is a stretch reason, but considering everything else, it’s not unlikely that it’s the same character.

Secondly, their Appearances.
The both have very long white hair with identical bang style, and a very noticeable small piece of hair on top that curls upwards. That’s a defining part Of all of Kiana’s hairstyles, and for it to be shared with this god says something.


Another notable thing is their eyes. They both have Glowing golden eyes with very similar appearances. They contain a ring, and a 4-point star pupil. Resemblant of a scope if you will. That’s The Herrscher of Void’s defining characteristic


If you’d even like to take a look at their outfits, there’s resemblances including the black fur collar, the designs on the torso and chest, and the use of something similar to coat tails/skirt. The Herrscher can change their outfit and they aren’t stuck with one. Sirin does this

JWALAMUKHI TRIPURASUNDARI, UTHANAHALLI, MYSURU (KAR)
#bharatmandir

Jwalamukhi Tripursundari is believed to be the sister of Devi Chamundeshwari, the presiding deity of Mysuru
It is also that she represents the flaming mouth of Jalandhara, the demon whom Shiva crushed to death.


When Devi Chamundeswari was fighting Mahishasura, she observed that from every drop of blood that spilled out of Mahishasura, another demon was born. So she created Tripurasundari to ensure that no blood dripped from Mahishasura.


Tripura Sundari means beauty of the three worlds.
The murti was installed during Wodeyar rule. An utsava murti made of pancha loha is kept in the sanctum sanctorum.
Another shrine here is dedicated to Siddeshwara / Shiva surrounded by a beautiful wooden Mantapa.

1) My Stan Lee story happened when I was in 5th grade. I was visiting NYC with my Dad and had read the address for Marvel in the comics I read constantly. I begged my Dad to take me and to his credit he did. And guess what? It was just an office.

2) We were down in the lobby and I was kind of crushed. I don’t know what I expected, The Thing and the Yancy Street Gang to be sitting around smoking cigars? Anyway, my Dad was taking a beat to figure where we were going next and a guy came up to us.

3) He was wearing a white shirt and tie and said to Dad “Is he disappointed because. The Marvel offices were just offices?” My Dad said yes and then the guy who had gray around his temples and a mustache said “hold on a second” and opened one of those office mailboxes with a key.

4) He then handed me a thick stack of EVERY SINGLE MARVEL COMIC COMING OUT THE NEXT MONTH. “Here you go. Keep reading Marvel comics” he said and then walked off. I left in a daze and about 15 minutes later it hit me “Gray around the temples, mustache... That was Stan Lee!”

5) Later when I wrote on the Ant Man movie I told Kevin Feige the story, the year, look of the guy etc and Kevin said “That’s exactly the kind of thing Stan would do and he would have been there then. That was him.” Rest In Peace Stan Lee and thank you for the comics.
