In a move aimed at stimulating economic growth, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reduced the repo rate by 0.25% to 6.25%. This is the first rate cut in five years, signaling a shift toward a more accommodative monetary policy.

The rate cut is expected to lower home loan EMIs, auto loans, and personal loans, providing financial relief to borrowers. With moderating inflation, especially in food prices, the RBI had the flexibility to reduce rates. This move could encourage consumer spending and business investment.

The last time the RBI lowered the repo rate was in May 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. This cut was larger, reducing the rate by 0.40% to support businesses and individuals during the lockdown. The current rate cut is more strategic, reflecting economic recovery and controlled inflation.

While the repo rate cut is helpful, some experts argue that more is needed to address liquidity issues in the economy. Measures such as reducing the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) or conducting open market operations might be necessary to ensure smoother credit flow and financial stability.

Though the repo rate cut is a positive step, it might not be enough to address all economic challenges. Financial experts suggest that addressing liquidity concerns and implementing structural reforms could be essential for sustained growth and financial relief.
