RBI Rate Decision
SUMMARY
- After a 50 bp hike three times a row, RBI softened and increased the repo rate by 35 basis points to 6.25%.
- Consequently, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate stands adjusted to 6%, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate to 6.50%
- The basic facts on the ground have not changed much since the last policy in September-end: global headwinds, inflationary pressures arising from both exogenous and endogenous sources, and adverse terms of trade balanced against an economy exhibiting nascent growth with all the growth engines - industrial, agricultural and service sectors - in early stages of combustion.
