The central bank can affect the liquidity of funds and money supply in the market by adjusting the repurchase rate to control inflation and promote economic growth.

The Fed influences short-term interest rates by adjusting the repo rate to control the money supply and economic growth. The central banks of other countries will also pay close attention to changes in the repurchase rate and take corresponding monetary policy measures.
