The six-member rate setting panel unanimously voted to stay put on the rates at 5.50% and also on the neutral policy stance. Despite a significant reduction in inflation forecast to 3.1% for the current fiscal, down from 3.8% earlier, the MPC at the 56th meeting that ended here on Wednesday chose to retain the growth outlook at 6.5% citing "the very, very uncertain times around the tariff war outcomes."
