With Rs 40,000 crore going out of the banking system due to advance tax payments, the cost of funds, in the short-term money market, will operate close to the repo rate (6%) — the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) makes available overnight funds to banks. Tax outflows have led to a marked cash crunch in the system. On Friday, banks borrowed Rs 42,290 crore from RBI through its repo window. This borrowing is reflective of the fund shortage in the system.
Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has appreciated the monetary policy tightening announced by Reserve Bank of India(RBI) in its mid quarterly policy review today. He welcomed the RBI’s decision to raise the repo rate by 25 basis points and Reverse Repo Rate by 50 basis points. The Finance Minister expressed his happiness that the RBI has decided not to tighten the CRR from the existing 6 percent. The narrowing of LAF corridor should contribute towards a more efficient monetary policy, the Finance Minister added. He said that this should also encourage a greater absorption of liquidity by the Central Bank and contribute to further control of inflation.
Following are the highlights of RBI mid-quarterly monetary review conducted for the first time on Thursday: 1. Ups short term lending (Repo) rate by 0.25 pc to 6 pc 2. Ups short-term borrowing (Reverse Repo) rate by 0.50 pc to 5 pc
Housing, auto and corporate loans may become expensive with the Reserve Bank raising short-term key policy rates to check spiralling inflation, say bankers. “The monetary action by RBI is aimed at attacking inflation. It has made fund costlier for banks. It is a signal for upward movement of interest rates,” Central Bank of India Executive Director Arun Kaul told PTI.
Union Finance Minister, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has stated that monetary policy measures announced by Reserve Bank of India today will lead to easing of inflation, which is already going down, and it should also keep us fully on track in terms of growth.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today said the Reserve Bank will decide on a further hike in its lending and borrowing rates at the quarterly review meeting on July 27. “The RBI Board will come up with its policy on July 27. Let us wait till then,” Mukherjee told newspersons here when asked whether there would be any further hike in the repo and reverse repo rates of the RBI.
