RBI Monetary Policy | MPC holds rate at 6.5% to tame inflation, FY25 real GDP growth projected at 7%, CPI inflation at 4.5%

April 05, 2024 10:08 am | Updated 12:45 pm IST The Monetary Policy Committee on April 5 decided to keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility unchanged at 6.50%. The risks are evenly balanced.” On inflation the Governor said “Two years ago, around this time, when CPI inflation had peaked at 7.8% in April 2022, the elephant in the room was inflation. “As the path of disinflation needs to be sustained till inflation reaches the 4% target on a durable basis, the MPC decided to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 6.50% in this meeting,” he added. Stating that monetary policy must continue to be actively disinflationary to ensure anchoring of inflation expectations and fuller transmission, he said the MPC would remain resolute in its commitment to aligning inflation to the target. The MPC also decided to remain focused on withdrawal of accommodation to ensure that inflation progressively aligns to the target, while supporting growth,” he said.
