The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced that all six members of the Monetary Policy Committee unanimously agreed to keep the benchmark reverse repo rate unchanged at 5.25%, in line with market expectations. Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the committee had noted a deterioration in the global environment. Inflation is expected to edge higher, while underlying inflationary pressures remain benign. He added that attention should be paid to potential second-round effects of price pressures. As a key focus of the central bank, India’s inflation rate stood at 3.48% in April, below the Reserve Bank of India’s 4% target and within the tolerance band of 2% to 6%. The Indian rupee edged up 0.1% to 95.7088 against the US dollar, though it remained close to a record low.
