Pune (Maharashtra) [India], June 4 (ANI/NewsVoir): On June 4, 2021, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das announced that repo rates and reverse repo rates would remain unchanged at 4% and 3.35% respectively.
This announcement came after the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) scheduled from June 2, 2021 to June 4, 2021.
This is the sixth consecutive time where the RBI maintained a status quo on repo rates. The repo rates have remained unchanged so that inflation can be kept under check, and close to MPC's 4% target. Additionally, these measures can help in infusing liquidity in the market, given the current frail economic climate.
While this helps in easing lending, there is a downward pressure to reduce deposit rates on all financiers. The current scenario in the world has shed light on the importance of savings, especially in the event of emergencies.
With the recent announcements, there may be further deposit rate cuts, which is why it is important for investors to lock into prevailing high FD rates to grow their savings. One may consider investing in market-linked instruments, but those are subject to risks, based on market movements.
