RBI Officials Highlight Economic Resilience, Monitor Inflation Amid Global Uncertainties

Reserve Bank of India officials, including Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta and MPC member Ram Singh, emphasize a cautious approach amid global economic challenges and geopolitical tensions, particularly the West Asia conflict. They highlight India's economic resilience, spare capacity, and ongoing reforms supporting growth. While inflation risks persist, especially from supply-driven shocks, the RBI currently does not foresee a repo rate hike, monitoring second-round inflation effects and external factors closely to maintain stability and support domestic demand.
