Reserve Bank of India Governor-led Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on Friday (February 4) decided to maintain key policy rates at existing levels, saying that the “need of the hour is to back growth.” The Reserve Bank kept the repo rate unchanged at 4 per cent and reverse repo rate untouched at 3.35 per cent.
“Going forward, the Indian economy is poised to move in only one direction and that is upwards. It is our strong conviction, backed by forecasts, that in 2021/22, we would undo the damage that COVID-19 has inflicted on the economy,” Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das said after announcing the rate decision.
