RBI Repo Rate: The Reserve Bank of India‘s (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) began meeting on June 5, 2024. Governor of the Reserve Bank of India Shaktikanta Das has said that the policy interest rate will remain at 6.5 percent.
As a result, the repo rate of 6.5 percent will not change. The repo rate has not changed as of yet by the central bank. By a vote of 4 to 2, the RBI’s MPC chose to maintain the repo rate at 6.5 percent. ‘Withdrawal of accommodation’ is the strategy that the meeting has chosen this time as well.
The other rates will stay unchanged if there is no change in the repo rate. The Reserve Bank of India has maintained the current rates for reverse repo, standing deposit facility, marginal standing facility, and bank accounts at 3.35 percent, 6.25 percent, and 6.75 percent, respectively.
The RBI has not changed the repo rate in the face of growing concerns over the nation’s rising inflation rate. Since February 2023, the repo rate has been maintained at 6.5 percent by the RBI.
