With the retail inflation is ruling still at high level, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das has said that interest rate cut this stage would have been “premature” and “very very risky”, and he added that future monetary policy action would depend upon the income data and outlook. He said the September inflation was high and the next print too is expected to remain elevated before moderating.
Refusing to give any indications about rate cuts in future, he said the central bank would take action on the basis of the incoming data and outlook. He also said the Reserve Bank does not act like a policeman, but it maintains tight vigil on the financial market and takes regulatory action whenever necessary.
Earlier this month, the RBI continued to maintain the status quo in the short-term lending interest rate (repo), citing inflationary concerns, though it changed the monetary policy stance to neutral. The next bi-monthly monetary policy will be announced on December 6.
