| The Credit Policy as a whole is wise and quite good for equity markets. The governor has gone in for stability and has made minimal changes in his maiden policy. |
| |
| Some people even expected that given the rise in inflation, an upward pressure on interest rates has begun. |
| |
| Stability in interest rates with no further downward bias should result in money moving out of the debt market. |
| |
| Also, we should see a higher number of public issues from certain sectors of the economy that are doing well. |
| |
| By not cutting the Bank Rate and CRR, the RBI has only reduced the immediate relevance of these tools in its Monetary & Credit Policy. |
| |
| The RBI, as indicated, can reduce the Bank Rate or Repo Rate whenever the situation warrants or additional liquidity is required in the money market. |
| |
CRR, at 4.5 per cent, is still 150 bp higher than RBI
