The Reserve Bank of India on Thursday kept the benchmark rate of interest unchanged at 5.15 percent in view of the uptick in inflation. The RBI MPC considers CPI inflation for its monetary policy actions and inflation is expected to be within the comfort zone of the MPC in the next fiscal. "Economic activity remains subdued and the few indicators that have moved up recently are yet to gain traction in a more broad-based manner. Given the evolving growth-inflation dynamics, the MPC felt it appropriate to maintain the status quo? the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) said.
Here are five key announcements made by RBI -
-- The repo rate retained at 5.15%
--Reverse repo rate retained at 4.90%
--The MPC unanimous on maintaining the credit policy stance
--FY2i GDP growth estimates at 6%
