Amid high inflation, RBI keeps repo rate unchanged at 6.5%

The Hindu  

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Reserve Bank of India on Friday held steadfast in its battle against inflation amid weakening growth momentum, with four of its six members voting to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 6.50% for the eleventh bi-monthly review in a row. While noting the RBI’s mandate is to ensure price stability while supporting growth, Mr. Das said persistently high inflation reduced the disposable income of consumers and dented private consumption which negatively impacted the real GDP growth. “Food inflation pressures are likely to linger in the third quarter of this financial year, and start easing only from Q4 of 2024-25, backed by seasonal correction in vegetable prices, kharif harvest arrivals, likely good rabi output and adequate cereal buffer stocks,” Mr. Das said. Terming the current growth-inflation flux a “critical juncture”, the Governor said “prudence and practicality demand that we remain careful and sensitive to the dynamically evolving situation with all its complexities and ramifications.” A status quo in monetary policy had thus become appropriate and essential, he reasoned, deftly sidestepping calls for interest rate cuts to support growth from some quarters of the government.
