RBI Expected to Maintain Repo Rate at 5.25% Amid Inflation and Global Uncertainties
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is widely expected to keep its repo rate unchanged at 5.25% in the August Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting amid inflation remaining within the 2-6% tolerance band. Policymakers are likely to maintain a neutral stance, balancing persistent global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and oil price volatility, against resilient domestic economic growth. The RBI's commentary on inflation risks, liquidity, and growth outlook will be closely watched by markets, borrowers, and investors, with no immediate rate cuts anticipated despite inflation edging above the 4% target.
