Sansad Tv

The Reserve Bank of India on Friday cut its key repo rate by a larger-than- expected 50 basis points and slashed banks’ cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 100 bps, taking advantage of cooling inflation as US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats add to global uncertainty. The RBI’s pivot comes at a crucial moment. A strong monsoon is expected to lift rural incomes and sentiment, but urban consumption and private investment remain tepid. By unlocking bank funds, the central bank is betting that cheaper credit will revive urban demand, stimulate SME investment, and complement the rural boost —helping broaden the economic recovery.
