Falling inflation, uneven growth led to RBI front-loading rate cut, show Monetary Policy Committee minutes
The unconventional 50 bps repo rate cut, taking the key rate to a low of 5.5%, along with a 100 bps reduction in the cash reserve ratio in a staggered manner announced on June 6 are part of the central bank's efforts to prop up growth, which has lost some of its momentum due to the ongoing trade war concerns. The cut was also enabled by the six-member Monetary Policy Committee's unanimous benign outlook on inflation, given the falling food prices and the forecast for a normal monsoon season, show the minutes of the June 4-6 meeting of the panel, released by the RBI on Friday. In a surprise move, the MPC slashed the key repo by 50 bps—the only time it had done such a move in recent years was the 75 bps reduction in May 2020 in the middle of the pandemic—and also slashed the CRR to 3%.
