RBI credit policy: MPC cuts repo rate by 35 bps to 5.40%, maintains accommodative stance

The six-member monetary policy committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday cut repo rate by 35 basis points in its third bi-monthly policy review of the financial year. It was fourth rate cut by the central bank in a row. The short-term lender rate now stands at 5.40 per cent. Persistent weakening of core inflation has kept the headline rate below the central bank’s 4 per cent target for the 11th straight month in June and, thus, the rate cut was largely in line with Street expectations.
