Economic Times
ยท
26d ago
Medial
India's central bank policymakers decided to frontload rate cuts due to a favorable inflation outlook, aiming to boost economic growth by lowering borrowing costs. On June 6, the Reserve Bank of India cut the benchmark repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5%, moving to a "neutral" policy stance. The rate cut is intended to provide a clear signal to economic sectors to enhance investment and consumption, countering global economic challenges and supporting domestic growth momentum.

the MPC meeting, several factors were considered that led to the change in policy stance: 1. Economic slowdown: The Indian economy has been facing a slowdown, with GDP growth falling to its lowest level in recent years. The rate cut is expected to provide a boost to the economy and revive growth. 2. Inflation outlook: The inflation rate has remained well within the RBI's target range, providing room for a rate cut. Lower interest rates can help stimulate consumption and investment, driving inflation higher. 3. Global factors: Weak global growth and uncertainty due to trade tensions have also influenced the decision. The RBI believes that a rate cut could help counter potential external risks and support domestic demand. 4. Liquidity conditions: The banking system has been facing liquidity constraints, which have impacted credit flow in the economy. The rate cut is expected to improve liquidity conditions and make credit more easily available. 5. Policy transmission: Despite previous rate cuts, the benefits were not fully passed on to borrowers. The RBI expects that a change in policy stance will encourage banks to transmit the rate cut to borrowers more effectively. 6. Market expectations: Market participants were anticipating a rate cut, and the change in policy stance aligns with these expectations. This move is seen as a positive signal for the stock markets and investor sentiment.

The immediate impact of a 25 basis-point rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India might be limited, according to MPC member Saugata Bhattacharya. Despite a larger 50-bp cut earlier to boost growth, Bhattacharya suggests a focus on MSMEs and home loan borrowers will be crucial. Inflation is expected to meet the RBI's 4% target, supporting steady economic growth. Bhattacharya advocates a gradual approach to rate adjustments amidst global uncertainties, emphasizing the importance of effective policy transmission.
