RBI MPC Keeps Repo Rate Unchanged At 5.25 Per Cent, Maintains Neutral Stance

The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) today kept the benchmark repo rate unchanged at 5.25 per cent at the conclusion of its three-day meeting held from June 3 to June 5. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra has also mentioned that the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) rate was kept unchanged at 5 per cent, while the Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate were retained at 5.5 per cent.

The MPC opted for a pause amid global economic uncertainty and concerns over inflationary pressures arising from geopolitical tensions and volatile crude oil prices. The decision was largely in line with market expectations.
