RBI decided to cut Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by a huge 1 per cent, which will unlock Rs 2.5 lakh crore liquidity to the banking system for lending to productive sectors of the economy

Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Friday said there is very little scope for rate cut in the current circumstances after the central bank reduced the policy rate by 50 basis points

The FY26 growth projections are compared with the 6.5 per cent economic growth recorded in the 2024-25 fiscal year. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has projected economic growth at 6.5 per cent for the June quarter and 6.7 per cent for the September quarter

The increase in the loan-to-value ratio for small loans means that if the gold pledged is worth Rs one lakh, borrowers can get up to Rs 85,000 as a loan, up from Rs 75,000

RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the central bank is concerned about cryptocurrencies as it can hamper financial stability

The decision of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra, will be announced on June 6

"In view of the rapidly evolving situation, especially on the global front, we are continuously monitoring and assessing the economic outlook. We will be agile and proactive in our actions on the policy front, as always," RBI Governor said, while addressing the 24th FIMMDA-PDAI Annual Conference in Bali

Sanjay Malhotra said that trade tariff related measures have clouded the economic outlook across regions, posing risk of new headwinds for global growth and inflation

It may be noted that the growth projection for the current year has been marked down by 20 basis points relative to our earlier assessment of 6.7 per cent in the February policy": RBI Governor

The RBI slashed key interest rate by 25 basis points, for the second time in a row, to support a shuttering economy hit by reciprocal tariffs imposed by the US

Malhotra says “We have included finance to small renewable energy projects – solar, biomass based, windmills, micro-hydel plants and non-conventional energy based public utilities viz street lighting systems, and remote village electrification projects as part of priority sector lending”

This initiative aims to reduce cyber security threats and malicious activities like phishing; and, streamline secure financial services, thereby enhancing trust in digital banking and payment services, says RBI

The rate cut comes for the first time in nearly five years after the last rate reduction in May 2020

The bank has kept the repo rate unchanged at 6.5 per cent since February 2023; the last time the RBI had reduced the rate was during Covid times and thereafter, it was gradually raised to 6.5 per cent

"Roughly numbers are in the range of 11 per cent year on year growth as in earlier months," Sanjay Malhotra told reporters.
