What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate to 5.5%, its first increase since February 2023, to address rising inflation. The central bank also raised its economic growth forecast for FY27 to 7.1%, citing resilient consumption and investment. Governor Sanjay Malhotra noted that credit growth is expected to continue being strong.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rate increase is a monetary policy measure designed to curb inflation. Despite the higher rates potentially tempering demand for new loans, credit growth remains robust, with non-food bank credit growing 18.8% and lending to the services sector rising 24.3% in the recent fortnight.
