General Knowledge for IBPS : RBI Repo Rate 8 per cent

RBI hikes Repo Rate from 7.5 per cent to 8 per cent

v  The Reserve Bank of India in a bid to tame inflationary pressure, hiked the short-term indicative policy rate by 50 basis points from 7.5 per cent to 8 per cent on July 26. The RBI Governor D. Subbarao also announced the first quarter review of Monetary Policy for 2011-12

v  The first quarter review of Monetary Policy for 2011-12 revealed that headline wholesale price index inflation rate for the first quarter of 2011-12 remained stubbornly close to double digits and inflationary pressures continued to be broad-based.

v  The decision to raise the rate by 50 basis points, beating the market expectation of 25 basis points was taken to drive home the fact that in the absence of complementary policy responses on demand and supply sides, stronger monetary policy actions are required.

v  With the hike in repo rate the reverse repo rate settled at 7 percent. Similarly, the Marginal Standing Facility rate stood recalibrated at 9 percent.

v  The hike by the central bank in rates is expected to put further pressure on consumers as lending rates of banks will be higher.

v  The RBI also revised the WPI inflation projection for March 2012 from 6 percent to 7 percent. However, the central bank retained the projection of real GDP growth for the current year at 8 per cent. RBI pointed out that crude oil prices that remained volatile were a major risk factor.
