The Reserve Bank of India's 25-basis-point repo rate cut in its Monetary Policy Committee meeting today was quite appropriate decision taken at a time of unusually low inflation and expected moderation in economic growth.
Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist at CareEdge, noted, "Despite the moderation in the inflation of the food and beverage basket when compared to last year, the sequential momentum remains strong, with a 2.5 per cent M-o-M increase in prices, higher than an average sequential grow."
