<h1>RBI Holds Policy Rates Steady, Cuts SLR by 50 Basis Points to Boost Private Sector Lending and Economic Growth.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to keep the policy rates unchanged while reducing the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) by 50 basis points. This move aims to balance economic growth and inflation. The government prioritizes addressing inflation, particularly food inflation, through supply-side measures and is committed to fiscal consolidation. By allowing banks to lend more to the private sector, the RBI intends to stimulate investment and employment. The calibrated approach reflects a strategic effort to maintain economic stability while fostering growth.
