At the outset, on behalf of the Reserve Bank of India, I want to welcome all of you to this Second Quarter Review of Monetary Policy for 2011-12. 2. Earlier this morning, we put out the monetary policy measures accompanying this Review. Based on an assessment of the current macroeconomic situation, we have decided to: […]
The Union Finance Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee has said that the today’s monetary policy announcement by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) would help in getting us back to a more comfortable inflation situation soon while leaving scope for growth to pick up in the second half of current fiscal year. The Finance Minister Shri Mukherjee was responding to the RBI today’s announcement vide which it has increased the policy repo rate by 25 basis points from existing 8.25% to 8.50%.
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.
