RBI Expected to Hold Repo Rate at 5.25% Amid Inflation and Global Uncertainties
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% in its upcoming Monetary Policy Committee meeting, adopting a cautious wait-and-watch stance amid uncertainties around inflation, growth, and global factors. Inflation risks are elevated due to volatile oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and potential monsoon variability. Financial conditions have tightened recently, reducing the immediate need for rate changes. The RBI is likely to focus on liquidity management while monitoring evolving economic risks and providing guidance on future policy direction.
