Each
the
central
financial institution

have
been
taking
steps
to
include

which
is
ruling
above
the
RBI’s
consolation
degree
of
6
per
cent
since
January
this
12 months
and
stood
at
7.01
per
cent
in
June.

based mostly
on
the
wholesale
worth
index
(WPI)
remained
in
double-digit
for
15

Minister

Tuesday
stated:
“We
have
made
certain
that
the
Reserve
Financial institution
of
India
and
the
Authorities,
put
collectively,
are
taking
sufficient
steps
to
make

RBI
raised
the
short-term
borrowing
charge
(repo)
twice
so

present
repo
charge
of
4.9
per
cent
is
nonetheless

later
months.
