The Reserve Bank of India has released its semi annual review of monetary policy.
Key measures
- Increase in cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 50 basis points.
- No change in policy interest rates
While many analysts are calling the policy statement neutral and attributing the CRR hike to liquidity management, the accompanying statements seem to convey a fairly hawkish view from the central bank of the country.
More on this later - possibly as an update.
