CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The MSF rate and the Bank Rate were at 5.50 per cent, 25 basis points above the repo rate.
The SDF sits 25 basis points below the repo rate, at 5.00 per cent.
Worth noting
The corridor is symmetric: SDF = repo − 0.25, MSF = repo + 0.25. Know the repo rate and you know all three.
