What change took place in the role of Reserve Bank of India under liberalisation?

Solution

Under liberalisation, there was a substantial shift in role of RBI. Earlier it was a regulator. As a regulator it itself fixed the interest rate structure for the commercial banks. After liberalisation, it became a facilitator. As a facilitator it facilitates free play of the market prices and leave it to the commercial banks to decide their interest rate structure.
