RBI governor echoes FM views; want banks to cut lending rates

05 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Endorsing Finance Minister P Chidambaram's call to banks, to pass on the benefit of rate cuts to customers, RBI Governor D Subbarao has said that lending rates have be to reduced to attract investments. The governor elucidated that when apex bank calibrates its short term policy interest rate, it expects monetary transmission to take place and the banks to respond by calibrating the lending rates.  RBI has pruned short term lending rate or repo rate by 1.25 per cent since 2012. However, commercial banks have reduced their rates only by around 30 basis points only.

This development comes just a day after Finance Minister Chidambaram urged banks to cut base lending rate in line with periodic interest rate cuts. Further, on Chidambaram's message to RBI to be supportive of growth when deciding on monetary stance, the governor said that central Bank is conscious of it and will balance it with inflationary concerns. However, he reiterated that objectives of monetary policy are price stability, growth and financial stability and growth also subsumes employment generation. The challenges for monetary policy are to balance between these objectives, he added. Earlier this week, Chidambaram advised RBI to not just focus solely on containing inflation but also look at the larger mandate of growth and creation of jobs.
