The RBI MPC meeting comes at a time when global central banks are tightening the monetary policy and raising interest rates. In tandem with ECB and US Fed’s rate hike, the central bank is also likely to hike its key policy rate by 35-50 basis points.

Suvodeep Rakshit, senior economist at Kotak Institutional Equities, said, “The RBI’s deliberations will likely be centered around global monetary policy cycle and outlook for global growth; external sector imbalances manifesting in pressures on the rupee; recent easing of global commodity prices; domestic inflation and growth trajectory… Arguably, the quantum of hike is finely balanced within the 35-50 bps range.”
