The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) left interest rates on hold on Friday (December 16,2011), pausing in a tightening cycle that has seen it lift policy rates 13 times since March 2010, as the economy shows signs of weakness even as inflation remains high.
The banking requlator RBI kept its policy repo rate unchanged at 8.5% at its mid-quarter review, in line with forecasts, two days after data showed November (2011) wholesale price index inflation at 9.11%, far lower than the 9.73% clocked in October.
The RBI also left the CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) unchanged at 6%.
