Policy Pause, Moderating Activity, Dollar Inflows: Week in Charts

Policy Pause, Moderating Activity, Dollar Inflows: Week in Charts

Every week, news reporters look at numbers to understand how a country is doing.

The Reserve Bank of India is the big bank that takes care of India's money.

It decided to keep interest rates the same for the fourth time in a row, which means borrowing money costs the same as before.

It also thinks India's economy will grow a little faster, but prices will rise a little more slowly.

Factories and shops that give services grew more slowly in July, but they are still growing.

Indian banks collected lots of money from people living in other countries, about 28 billion dollars, to help make India's money stronger.

Some company owners put up their own shares as a promise when they borrow money, and slightly more companies are doing this now.

In sports, India won 39 medals at the Commonwealth Games, which is the lowest number it has won in many years.

The games were still fun, but India finished in fourth place overall.
