RBI holds interest rates steady at record lows as economic outlook improves
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its policy repo rate unchanged at 4 per cent and reverse repo rate at 3.35 per cent, and promised an accommodative stance as long as necessary to revive growth and come out of the Covid-19 induced stress. The central bank said it will restore the cash-reserve ratio (CRR) to its normal levels in two phases, 3.5 per cent (from 3 per cent now) effective March 27, and then at 4 per cent from May.
