RBI MPC announcement: Will RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das cut key lending rates?

India Today  

The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee is set to make key announcements on Friday after its three-day meeting today. Others suggest a "dovish hold," where the RBI signals a willingness to cut rates in the future while maintaining the current rate. "A rate cut is more likely at the February meeting, but the recent GDP miss might push the MPC to act sooner." The RBI may opt for easing liquidity by announcing a 50-basis-point CRR cut, injecting Rs 1.2 lakh crore into the banking system, while holding the repo rate steady to manage inflation risks." Jyoti Prakash Gadia, MD at Resurgent India, pointed out, "Given food inflation above 6% in October and GDP growth of 5.4%, the time is not right for a rate cut.
