The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has increased the repo and reverse repo rates from time to time to contain inflation and anchor inflationary expectations. The following table captures the movement in repo and reverse repo rate since April 2010:
The RBI’s monetary policy stance aims to maintain an interest rate environment that moderates inflation and anchors inflationary expectation. While cost of borrowing goes up, on balance lower levels of inflation would provide greater relief to the common man. On an ongoing basis, Government has been providing interest subventions for key sectors of economy and sections of the society.
Today RBI raised interest rates by a higher-than-expected 50 basis points. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increased the repo rate , at which it lends to banks, to 8 per cent, exceeding market expectations that it would raise rates by 25 basis points. The rate increase is its 11th since March 2010, making the RBI one of the most aggressive inflation fighters among central banks.
