RBI Expected to Raise Rates by 25 Basis Points in October and December Meetings
Ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's October Monetary Policy Committee meeting, economists and analysts widely anticipate a 25 basis points rate hike, with a possible second hike in December, potentially raising the repo rate to 5.75%. Nomura and HSBC highlight that inflation pressures from food and energy persist, but underlying inflation remains contained, suggesting a limited tightening cycle rather than steep hikes. Liquidity conditions have tightened, supporting monetary policy transmission, while growth indicators signal below-trend expansion.
