In a significant move to stimulate economic growth amid global trade disruptions, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced today that it has reduced the repo rate by 50 basis points (bps), bringing it down from 5.75% to 5.25%. This marks the third consecutive rate cut this year, totaling a 100 bps reduction in 2025.
What Does This Mean?
✅ Cheaper Borrowing: Banks can now borrow from the RBI at a lower rate, which encourages them to pass on the benefits to businesses and consumers by lowering their lending rates.
✅ Lower EMIs: Home loan and other floating-rate loan borrowers may see their EMIs decrease, making household budgets easier to manage.
✅ Economic Stimulus: This move aims to support economic growth by increasing liquidity and spurring investment and consumption.
🔎 Why the Rate Cut?
The RBI’s decision reflects a proactive approach to counter global trade tensions and to support domestic economic activity. The 100 bps reduction in 2025 is intended to:
Maintain adequate liquidity in the financial system
Facilitate easier credit flow
Boost market sentiment and consumer confidence
