RBI monetary policy LIVE: The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) six-member monetary policy committee, headed by Governor Shaktikanta Das, on Friday kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged amid coronavirus uncertainty and fears over inflation.
The repo rate (lending rate) will continue at 4.00% and reverse repo rate (RBI’s borrowing rate) at 3.35%. With this, the repo rate has remained unchanged for a sixth consecutive time.
RBI revised FY22 real GDP growth projection to 9.5% — 18.5% in Q1, 7.9% in Q2, 7.2% in Q3 and 6.6% in Q4. “Unlike the first wave of Covid-19, where economy came to a standstill, economic impact during the second wave will be contained,” the RBI Governor said.
The projection for CPI-based inflation in FY22 is 5.1% — 5.2% in Q1, 5.4% in Q2, 4.7% in Q3 and 5.3% in Q4.
