Reaction Quote | RBI Monetary Policy

“The MPC’s decision to maintain status quo on policy rates and stance underscores their commitment to managing inflation and ensuring price stability. With food inflation contributing 46% of the total inflation basket, it’s critical to address this to prevent spillover risks to core inflation. Growth remains resilient, with steady urban consumption, emerging rural demand, stable manufacturing, and buoyant services growth projected over the next three quarters. The expectation of a normal monsoon further supports stability in agriculture.

In light of global financial market volatility, divergent stances by central banks worldwide, resilient domestic growth, and higher food inflation, the MPC’s decision to keep rates unchanged is prudent. The MPC’s focus on maintaining price stability and targeting sustainable inflation of 4% is clear. Seems like we must remain patient regarding any potential changes in stance or rate cuts.”

“The RBI expectedly kept rates and stance unchanged with unambiguous focus being retained on inflation. With growth remaining robust the MPC still has room to hold on to policy stance to get confirmation on the disinflationary trend. We continue to expect scope for change in stance in the October policy with rate cuts beginning from December. The prospects of simultaneous change in stance and rate cuts could increase depending on how domestic inflation and global environment transitions.”

  • Upasna Bhardwaj, Chief Economist, Kotak Mahindra Bank
