The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has yet again opted to make the residence purchase proposition easier for home seekers, maintaining the repo rate at 6.5% and reducing the cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 50 basis points to 4% in its policy review. Those who pair policy announcements with the next festive occasion have likened this to a Christmas gift in advance with the RBI playing Santa Claus, while simultaneously wishing the rate cut had been implemented on both.
Commenting on the decision, Harsha Vardhan Agarwal, President, FICCI said, "While the Reserve Bank of India's stance on the repo rate was widely expected, we welcome the 50-bps cut in the CRR rate. This move is well-timed and practical and should help ease out the liquidity situation supporting credit and overall growth."
