RBI Governor: Rate Cuts Depend on Outlook, Not Current Inflation
The RBI (like the country's bank) is thinking about lowering interest rates.
The Governor, Sanjay Malhotra, said they will make the decision carefully.
They won't just look at what's happening right now, like how prices are changing, but also how they think things will be in the future.
Even though prices have come down a little, they might go up again later.
The RBI considers how the economy will perform in the coming year when making decisions about rate cuts, not just today's numbers.
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra stated future rate cuts will be based on inflation and growth projections.
The announcement was made at the Financial Express Banking and Finance Summit.
Malhotra signaled a cautious approach before the August 6 policy review.
Despite recent CPI drops, inflation is expected to rise in Q4.
The Monetary Policy Committee considers factors up to a year ahead.
