RBI Monetary Policy Committee is likely to continue with the pace of repo rate hikes, in its MPC meeting during 5-7 Dec. The Reserve Bank of India MPC is expected to announce a 35 basis points (bps) rate hike, according to economists. A 25 bps or 50 bps hike, can’t be ruled out either, they said. The central bank has hiked the key short-term lending rate or repo rate by 190 bps in four tranches since May this year in order to contain inflation which remains above RBI’s threshold of 6%. “We expect a 35 bps rate hike in the upcoming meeting,” said Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist, CARE Ratings.
