RBI Maintains Status Quo On Repo Rate At 4%

For the seventh consecutive time, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) headed by RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das has kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4%. Reportedly, the "accommodative stance is maintained as the economy is still recovering from the COVID-19 second wave". This move supports growth and keeps inflation in check. Accordingly, the reverse repo rate will remain at 3.35% and annual inflation at 4%.
