According to Mr. O.P. Bhatt, Chairman, State Bank of India, the RBI has done the right thing by hiking the CRR by 0.75% to 5.75%. Mr. Bhatt said "the policy is neutral in the sense of raising interest rates on bank credit over a period of six months."
Describing the present period as a difficult one for the economy, Bhatt said that "there is still uncertainty on whether the growth that we are seeing is because of the (government's) stimulus packages or because of genuine underlying demand."
