RBI's rate cut, monetary stance change to 'accommodative' timely: Experts

The RBI decision to reduce the key interest rate by 25 bps and revise its monetary stance to 'accommodative' is a timely move and will cushion the secondary impact of tariffs on domestic economy, industry players said. Industry players, including banks, NBFCs, and realtors, also said that the Reserve Bank's latest monetary policy augurs well for the economy amid global trade uncertainties.

"On the regulation side, the market-based securitization framework for stressed assets, review of policy on gold lending and non-fund-based facilities are timely. Widening of the co-lending framework gives wider choices to all parties concerned," Setty said. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repurchase or repo rate by 25 basis points to 6 per cent.
