Repo rate:
The repo rate represents the interest rate at which a bank lends money to an investor and then purchases the same amount of debt from the investor. The repo rate is typically set by the Federal Reserve (Fed) and is an important benchmark for other interest rates in the economy, such as the prime rate and the federal funds rate.
Reverse repo rate:
The reverse repo rate is the interest rate at which a bank purchases a debt security from an investor and then repays the investor with the same amount of money at a fixed interest rate. The reverse repo rate is the negative of the repo rate, and it is also set by the Fed.
SLR/CRR:
The SLR/CRR stands for Short-Term Liquidity Ratio/Counterparty Risk Ratio. It is a measure of a bank's exposure to counterparty risk, which is the risk that a bank may lose money if a counterparty defaults on a loan or other obligation. The SLR/CRR is calculated as the ratio of a bank's short-term liquid assets to its short-term liabilities. A bank with a high SLR/CRR is less exposed to counterparty risk
