RBI keeps key rates unchanged to spur economic recovery

The six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) voted on Wednesday to keep the benchmark repo rate and reverse repo rate unchanged at historically low levels because the central bank retained Asia’s gross domestic product (GDP) ) Growth targets. The growth rate of the third largest economy in the 2021-22 fiscal year is 9.5%.

For the ninth time, MPC maintains its bimonthly policy rate status, as policymakers weigh the impact of the latest variant of Covid-19, Omicron.

The repo rate remains unchanged at 4%, while the reverse repo rate remains at 3.35%. Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) and bank interest rates also remained unchanged at 4.25%.

The repo rate refers to the interest rate at which commercial banks borrow funds by selling securities to the Reserve Bank, while the reverse repo rate is the interest rate at which the central bank borrows funds.

Das told reporters: “In view of the economic weakness and continued activities to catch up, especially private consumption is still below the pre-pandemic level, continuous policy support is needed to achieve a lasting and broad recovery.”
