SBI recommends RBI shift CRR use and predicts a 25 basis points repo rate cut in February.

The State Bank of India (SBI) suggests the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) shift the use of the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) from a liquidity management tool to a regulatory intervention tool, acting as a buffer based on the economy's needs. The report also recommends replacing the current main policy rate, the Weighted Average Call Rate (WACR), and predicts a 25 basis points cut in the repo rate at the RBI's February 2025 meeting, with an expected total reduction of 75 basis points during the year.
