During its second quarter review, RBI has announced monetary measures to
· Contain inflation and anchor inflationary expectations, while being prepared to respond to any further build-up of inflationary pressures
· Maintain an interest rate regime consistent with price, output and financial stability.
· Actively manage liquidity to ensure that it remains broadly in balance, with neither a surplus diluting monetary transmission nor a deficit choking off fund flows.
Accordingly, it has been decided to
Ø increase the repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) by 25 basis points from 6.0 per cent to 6.25 per cent with immediate effect.
Ø increase the reverse repo rate under the LAF by 25 basis points from 5.0 per cent to 5.25 per cent with immediate effect.
