Prevailing onslaught from COVID's second wave as well as persistently high prices will deter the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from initiating any tapering exercise, experts told
IANS.
Besides, economy watchers have ruled out any reduction in key lending rates during the first monetary policy review coming after one of worst phases of COVID-19 pandemic.
Accordingly, RBI's monetary policy committee (MPC) is expected to retain rates as well as the current accommodative stance due to growth concerns amidst resurgence of COVID-19.
"We estimate the average CPI inflation to moderate to 5.2 percent in FY2022 from 6.2 percent in FY2021. Nevertheless, it will remain well above the mid-point of the MPC's renewed medium term target range of 2-6 percent, ruling out the possibility of further rate cuts to support economic activity and sentiment," ICRA's Chief Economist Aditi Nayar told IANS.
