Economists and bond traders expect a pause in policy rates on October 1, expecting the monetary policy committee (MPC) to wait for more transmission of rates, while the late induction of members in the panel could also force an outcome that would veer towards continuity of the old decisions.
All 10 economists and bond traders polled by Business Standard expect the status quo to continue on rates.
While the MPC is scheduled to meet on September 29, 30 and then on October 1, new members have not yet been announced. By all indications, the members could get announced on Monday
