 "RBI retains growth forecast at 7.2 per cent for current financial year")
Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India on Friday retained its growth projection at 7.2 per cent for the current fiscal .
The central bank sees improvement in urban demand and gradual recovery in rural India aided by normal monsoon.
Unveiling the fourth monetary policy for the current fiscal, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said that the central bank remains committed to price stability to put the country on the sustained path of growth.
The RBI expects growth in the first quarter of the current fiscal at 16.2 per cent, which will taper to 4 per cent by the fourth quarter. Das, however, cautioned that there are risks from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
