RBI Expected to Maintain Rate Pause in FY27 Amid Strong Growth and Easing Inflation
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to maintain a prolonged pause on policy rate changes in fiscal year 2027, supported by strong economic growth and easing inflation, according to an SBI Research report. July's CPI inflation stood at 4.45%, with imported inflation declining. Improved monsoon conditions and near-normal kharif sowing also contribute to a positive outlook. While some risks remain, the data does not currently justify an immediate rate hike, and global central banks face similar communication challenges.
