Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) ne aaj apni meeting mein policy rate ko 150 bps kam kar ke 20.5 percent kar diya.

MPC ne note kiya ke February se inflation mein aham kami aayi hai jo ke umeed ke mutabiq thi, magar May ka result pehle se behtar tha.

MPC ne yeh bhi dekha ke inflationary pressures kam ho rahe hain, jo ke core inflation aur consumers aur businesses ke inflation expectations mein kami se zahir hai – tight monetary policy stance aur fiscal consolidation ki madad se.

MPC ne kuch risks bhi dekhe near-term inflation outlook mein, jo ke budgetary measures aur energy price adjustments se aasakte hain. Magar in risks aur aaj ke faisle ke bawajood, pehle ke monetary tightening ka cumulative impact inflationary pressures ko check mein rakhe ga.
