RBI Monetary Policy Time Date and Live Meeting Updates: The Reserve Bank of India, or RBI, will most likely announce major decisions taken at its monetary policy meeting on Thursday, February 10th.

While common people speculate that repo rates will remain unchanged, experts expect the central bank to increase the reverse repo rate to normalize liquidity. However, if it holds the repo rate, it will be the tenth draw that the Reserve Bank holds the same position.
RBI Monetary Policy Meeting Key Highlights
“We expect the MPC to start raising the policy rates and start normalizing the policy corridor between repo and reverse repo rate. We expect the RBI to increase the reverse repo rate in its April 2022 policy meeting, ”said Brickworks Ranking.
"An increase in the reverse repo rate will mean that this is the first step to indicate normalization. We can expect more such increases until the 25 bps corridor is reached, "said Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda. "Markets will accept that interest rate hikes have started and yields can be expected to rise. It will be a precursor to the repo rate increases that are coming. "
