RBI increases Repo and Reverse Repo and Marginal Standing Facility Rates by 0.25 percent to 8.25, 7.25 and 9.25 per cent respectively.
RBI has been increasing policy rates to contain inflation and inflationary expectation to prevent the economy from getting overheated. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised the policy rate (the repo rate) eleven times by a cumulative 325 basis points (bps) since October 2009.
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.
A short while ago, we put out the monetary policy measures accompanying this review. To recap, based on an assessment of the current macroeconomic situation, we have decided to – increase the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) by 50 basis points. The repo rate will accordingly move up from 7.5 per cent to 8.0 per cent.
With inflation hovering much above the comfort zone, the Reserve Bank may raise key policy rates by 25 basis points in its first mid-quarterly review of the credit policy for FY’12 tomorrow. I think the RBI would take one more small step to curb inflationary expectations. Market is expecting a 25 basis points increase, Indian Overseas Bank Chairman and Managing Director M Narendra told PTI.
In line with international practice, the RBI on Tuesday decided to anchor monetary policy through a single short term lending rate known as repo rate. Unlike in the past, the rate at which the RBI borrows from banks (reverse-repo) will be the benchmarked 100 basis points below the repo rates.
As announced today in the Annual Monetary Policy 2011-12, it has been decided to increase the repo rate under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) by 50 basis points from 6.75 per cent to 7.25 per cent with immediate effect. Further, as announced in the Policy, the reverse repo rate under the LAF, determined with a spread of 100 basis points below the repo rate, will stand at 6.25 per cent with immediate effect.
Faced with stubborn inflation, RBI is likely to raised key policy rates by at least 25 basis points in its annual credit policy for 2011-12 to be announced on Tuesday to arrest the rate of price rise, say bankers. “Given the macro economic conditions, it is expected that the RBI would hike rates by at least 25 basis points to curb inflationary expectations,” Indian Overseas Bank Chairman and Managing Director M Narendra told PTI.
