The three-day meeting of the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) monetary policy review is starting today. It is expected that the central bank may increase the repo rate by 0.50 percent on 30 September. If this happens, the repo rate will go down to 5.90 percent, from 5.40 percent now. Last week alone, about a dozen central banks raised interest rates. Bank of America had gained 0.75 percent.
To control inflation, central banks around the world have adopted the strategy of raising interest rates. Despite this, inflation rates are above their targets. The rate of retail inflation in India is 7 percent while RBI's target is 2 to 6 percent. It has increased interest rates by 1.40 percent three times since May.
