By IANS,
New Delhi : The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised its repo rate to 8 percent from 7.75 percent Wednesday.
The repo rate is the interest rate at which RBI lends money to other banks.
Credit rating agency Crisil said the raise implied RBI was signalling an interest rate increase by other banks too.
The RBI however said the move was meant to contain inflation expectations.
