RBI Maintains Repo Rate and Neutral Stance Amid Inflation and Growth Uncertainties
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintained its repo rate at 5.25% and upheld a neutral monetary policy stance amid ongoing economic uncertainties. Experts note RBI's focus on core inflation, excluding food, fuel, and precious metals, has caused some market confusion. The RBI projects steady growth and moderate inflation for FY27, emphasizing strategic patience over immediate rate changes, supported by resilient domestic demand and manageable inflation risks primarily driven by supply factors.
