RBI Expected to Maintain Repo Rate Amid Inflation and Global Risks in August Meeting
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is widely expected to keep its repo rate steady at 5.25% during the August Monetary Policy Committee meeting, with economists citing inflation concerns, global geopolitical risks, and stable domestic indicators. Experts note that rate cuts are unlikely as RBI focuses on inflation control rather than currency management, supported by robust capital inflows. Global central banks' cautious stances and supply-side inflation pressures also influence the anticipated pause in policy changes.
