Q. What happens to bank product prices during an inflationary trend?
Answer: Increasing Trend
Notes: During inflation, central banks often raise policy rates, causing banks to increase loan and deposit rates. Higher inflation causes nominal lending and deposit rates to be repriced upwards. In 2023, the Reserve Bank of India increased repo rates in response to inflation, leading to higher lending rates in the Indian banking sector.
