Rupee weakness will not deter India cenbank from cutting rates, Nomura says

Live Mint  

By Nimesh Vora MUMBAI, Dec 5 - Nomura stuck by its contrarian call that the Reserve Bank of India will lower interest rates on Friday as concerns over economic growth overshadow worries about high inflation and the rupee's weakness. The other 62 expect status quo after retail inflation jumped above the RBI's tolerance limit for the first time in over a year and as the rupee plumbs record lows on a regular basis due to portfolio outflows and the dollar's post-U.S. election rally. On the rupee, Nomura said that without signs of growth stability, the pressure on the external sector would continue, since India largely attracts growth capital, and that would further undermine the currency. FOCUS ON GROWTH "The RBI's primary objective is to maintain price stability while keeping in mind the objective of growth," Nomura said.
