Will RBI go for another repo rate hike to beat inflation? Experts speak

India TV News  

RBI Rate Hike: The Reserve Bank of India will announce the decision of the Monetary Policy Committee on Wednesday. Although the government played its role to tame inflation by reducing petrol and diesel prices, bringing in restrictions for exports in order to keep the domestic market stable etc, market experts are estimating a bigger hike in interest rate as consumer price index based retail inflation galloped for a seventh straight month to touch an 8-year high of 7.79 per cent in April. Based on inflation data and external factors, including oil and commodity prices, expect a total of 100 to 150 bps increase in repo rate from the current 4.4 per cent," she said. Anand Nevatia, fund manager, Trust Mutual Fund, said that RBI is now prioritising inflation over growth and "we expect 35-50bps rate hike along with hike in CRR to bring down liquidity". The government has tasked the Reserve Bank to ensure consumer price index based inflation remains at 4 per cent with margin of two per cent on the either side.
