Central banks control interest rates by altering the repo rate. Repo rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from the central bank. So if the central bank hikes the repo rate, the banks will automatically hike their lending rates. similarly if the central bank reduces the repo rate, banks will lower their lending rates too.
