S&P says RBI may cut repo rate early next year


New Delhi: To control inflation, RBI has increased the repo rate by 2.5 per cent since May last year. Due to this, the loan installment of the people has increased a lot. But at the moment people are not expected to get relief from it. According to global rating agency S&P, RBI may cut interest rates early next year. Lower retail inflation had raised hopes of a rate cut, but monsoon uncertainty and El Nino have dampened those hopes for the time being. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das says that his effort is to bring down inflation to the target of 4 per cent, but in this El Nino has emerged as a big challenge.

Das had recently said that our war against inflation is not over yet. Only half the work is done. We have to keep an eye on it going forward and be prepared to deal with it if it accelerates. He said that price and financial stability is necessary for greater policy focus. Monsoon is likely to be affected due to El Nino effect. The RBI has got a target of keeping inflation at 4 percent with a margin of error of 2 percent.

India’s economy is expected to grow at an average rate of 6.7 per cent during 2023-26. Similarly, the average growth rate of Vietnam will be 6.6 percent and that of Philippines will be 6.1 percent.
