During the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee today, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das today decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 4 per cent. RBI’s monetary policy committee voted unanimously to maintain the repo rates intact as they found it necessary to support growth. Repo Rate is the key interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks.

Besides, the reverse repo rate remains intact at 3.35%, Marginal Standing Facility Rate and Bank Rate at 4.25%, as announced during the RBI MPC. While announcing the monetary policy review Das also maintained the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at 9.5 per cent for FY22.

However, citing inflation concerns, the regulator increased the CPI inflation estimate to 5.7 per cent from 5.1 per cent.

Experts’ reaction to RBI Monetary Policy Committee Announcements:

The very clear message from RBI comes as a continuation to the commencement of normalisation about a month back. The 10-year bond yields have ...
... moved from 6% to 6.20% in the last two months. The extension of the liquidity facility won’t make much of a difference in the present situation, given the fact that banks still have not fully utilised the existing limits.

Liquidity thus is not a matter of concern at this point.

Credit off-take is still tepid. Accommodating & supporting growth is crucial and so has RBI prioritised growth over inflation. Gradual & steady calibrated liquidity withdrawals would continue.
