Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Saturday (February 8) said that he expects the uncertainty related to former US President Donald Trump to ease in the coming months.
Malhotra also said that India’s central bank will be responsive to the liquidity needs of the banking system. “We will be very, very watchful, alert and very nimble and agile in whatever are the requirements of the banking system to provide liquidity, both transient, overnight, as well as more durable liquidity,” he said.
He also mentioned that the RBI is not targeting a specific price band for the rupee but is instead focused on curbing excessive volatility. This statement followed the central bank’s decision to cut its key interest rate for the first time in nearly five years on Friday (February 7).
