The Reserve Bank raised the repo rate to 5.9 percent.
Recently, the RBI increased the repo rate by 0.5 percent to 5.9 percent in the bi-monthly monetary policy review. This is its 3 year high. The RBI has taken this step to control retail inflation and to deal with pressure arising from aggressive rate hike of central banks of various countries. Earlier, after 0.40 percent increase in May 2022, an increase of 0.50-0.50 percent was done in June and August 2022. Overall, since May till now, RBI has increased the repo rate by 1.90 percent.
