Deutsche Bank Forecasts RBI Repo Rate Increase to 6.25% by Mid-2027
Deutsche Bank forecasts the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will raise the repo rate to 6.25% by mid-2027, reflecting ongoing inflationary pressures and strong economic growth. The bank expects a 25-basis-point hike in December 2026, followed by a 50-basis-point increase in early 2027, totaling 100 basis points in this tightening cycle. Inflation is projected to average 6% in late 2026, easing to 4.7% by FY28, while GDP growth is expected to remain above 7%. Risks include rising fuel prices, wholesale inflation, and pressure on the rupee amid declining foreign reserves.
