The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on August 25, 2023, issued a notification regarding macroeconomic situations like repo rate, SDF, LAF etc.
On the basis of an assessment of the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to:
•Keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 6.50 per cent.
•The standing deposit facility (SDF) rate remains unchanged at 6.25 per cent and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 6.75 per cent.
•The MPC also decided to remain focused on the withdrawal of accommodation to ensure that inflation progressively aligns with the target, while supporting growth.
•These decisions are in consonance with the objective of achieving the medium-term target for consumer price index (CPI) inflation of 4 per cent within a band of +/- 2 per cent, while supporting growth.
