RBI misses chance to up housing demand by keeping repo rate steady: Credai

Realtors' apex body Credai on Wednesday said the RBI should have cut key interest rates to boost housing demand during the current festive season and demanded that the apex bank must consider lowering the repo rate in the next meeting. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its key interest rate unchanged on Wednesday but took the first step towards a rate cut as it eased its relatively hawkish policy stance to 'neutral'. Credai National President Boman Irani said, "As RBI remains cautious regarding potential inflationary pressures, the central bank's decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.5 per cent - albeit with a revised neutral stance - seems somewhat like a missed opportunity, especially with the festive season around the corner". A rate cut at this juncture would have provided the ideal boost to accelerate consumer demand across industries, he added. Irani expects the central bank to cut rates in the next quarter. Realtors' body Naredco President G Hari Babu suggested t

Raghuram Rajan opposes excluding food inflation in setting interest rates

Amid suggestions for excluding food inflation while setting benchmark interest rates, former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has said that he is against excluding food prices from headline inflation, as it would erode the 'great faith' of people in the central bank, which has been mandated by the government to keep inflation in check. Rajan further said it is best that inflation target a basket which is what the consumer consumes because that affects the consumers perception of inflation and ultimately inflationary expectations. "When I came into office, we were still targeting PPI (producer price index). Now that has no bearing to what the average consumer faces. "So, when the RBI says inflation is low, look at PPI, but if the consumer is facing something very different, then they do not really believe that inflation is down," he told PTI. Rajan was responding to a question on suggestions made in the Economic Survey 2023-24 for excluding food inflation while setting benchmark interest
