As 2024 comes to a close, let’s look back at how it has been for India’s financial sector.
 
The policy rate remained unchanged at 6.5 per cent through the year. The last two meetings of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) Monetary Policy Committee in October and December, however, saw some action as the growth-inflation dynamics started changing.
