Whether or not it actually does is it's actual inflation.This matters in the Phillips Curve mainly when dealing with businesses. Basically, if a business thinks it's costs are going to increase (inflation), it might not hire more people or might even lay people off to save money. Thus, as expected inflation rises, unemployment rises, just like the Curve says it would.

Why has the Repo rate taken precedence over the bank rate as a short term?

Repo rate is basically to fulfill the short term fund requirements of the firms.By increasing repo rate the central bank tries to absorb liquidity from the economy,but it does not directly affect the market interest rate as banks try to bear the burdenof additional money them selves in order not to loose customers as the other banks might be less dependent on repo rate and might not increase the interest rate on lending. But an increase in bank rate makes credit directly dearer for the banks and as it is long term in nature so banks increase their interest rate on lending, which reduces plannned aggregate investment in the economy and thus hampers growth directly.Repo rate increase might also affect investment but the impact is not that severe and direct as bank rate.As the central bank has to maintain a balance between the growth and inflation rate, so it is trying to control inflation by taking other monetary measures that does not affect the growth of the economy directly.
