RBI Repo Rate Hike: What does the latest 25 bps rate hike mean for the Microfinance Sector, borrowers, lenders and the broader economy? The Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% and shifted its policy stance from Neutral to Calibrated Tightening. With inflation projection raised to 5.2% and FY27 GDP growth estimate revised higher by 40 basis points, the RBI is clearly focusing on keeping inflation under control while maintaining economic growth. In this exclusive GoodReturns conversation, Sadaf Saeed, CEO of Muthoot Microfin, shares his outlook on the RBI policy and its impact on the Microfinance Sector.

RBI ने Repo Rate में 25 basis points की बढ़ोतरी कर इसे 5.50% कर दिया है। इसके साथ ही RBI ने अपनी policy stance को Neutral से बदलकर Calibrated Tightening कर दिया है। Inflation projection को 5% से बढ़ाकर 5.2% किया गया है, जबकि FY27 GDP growth estimate में 40 basis points की बढ़ोतरी की गई है। RBI के इस फैसले का Market, Loan EMI, SIP, FD, Banking और Microfinance Sector पर क्या असर होगा? क्या आगे 50-75 basis points तक और Rate Hike देखने को मिल सकती है?

00:04Hello and welcome, I am with you, I am with you, I am with you, I am with you, I
00:07am with you.
00:08Markets with GR, today we have a policy of RBI and its share bazaar,
00:14because, see, 25 basis points of basis points, rate hike,
00:20and rate hike is a very long time,
00:23and share market, even though it is a rate hike,
00:27it is a factor in, but today, RBI has changed its stance,
00:35it has become a little volatility in the market,
00:39because the market is taking it from a certain way,
00:43it is also a confusion.
00:45Okay, the stance that has changed its stance,
00:47it is now taking RBI neutral stance.
00:51Rate hikes had not been done,
00:53it was a very long time, in February 2023,
00:57it was the last time rate hike,
00:59after that,
01:01we have seen 4 rate cuts,
01:03and then the rate hike,
01:05in October 2026,
01:06RBI has done it.
01:08Now, the geopolitical tensions are so big,
01:10crude oil prices are rising,
01:12and inflation is rising,
01:15and the inflation is rising,
01:16and the RBI has been rising,
01:16and if the RBI is the governor,
01:18then India's growth story is intact,
01:22the growth of the project,
01:23is growing up for FY27,
01:25and the growth of the project,
01:28is growing up for FY27.
01:40The oil prices are rising,
01:42If we see the sales of the markets,
01:45then crude oil prices,
01:47bottom deal is rising,
01:49this is the impact of the budget.
01:49These are factors that affect the future.
01:53With this RBI policy,
01:56while we see the RBI policy,
02:09which I just mentioned the impact of starting price is quite positive but
02:14the 150 bank is looking at Nifty Bank too.
02:17and after that, I am telling you that,
02:18it shows you how to expand the next upload of 25,842.
02:24Well, we can understand the policy.
02:28Now, by changing the neutral stance,
02:31RBI has calculated its mane.
02:36Now, we finally see the inability to understand the cut.
02:43This means that RBI is looking forward to the power of power, and in the near future,
02:47the stance will not change from the calibrated titling, until there will not be rate cuts.
02:54It will be rate hike or pause, we will deal with the same rate.
02:59RBI has this stance.
03:01The rate hike is 25 basis point, and then the repo rate is 5.50%
03:07And the RBI has said that this stance is clear,
03:17the problem is that it will be rate price of global inflation.
03:21This one will actually tighten the central bank to the monetary policy.
03:25For the rest of the central banks, the RBI has also taken this direction.
03:55Thank you very much.
04:20Thank you very much.
04:40Thank you very much.
12:53So,
12:54I hope you say
12:56Goodcock Jonnippa
13:04Yeah, I will talk about financial services and normally when the rate hike cycle remains
13:10then the financial services sector is good, it is the banking sector, so for me the financial
13:16services sector is a backbone of our economy and it is good, credit growth is good, deposit
13:24BFCNR is a lot of liquidity in the system, so definitely the banking sector is very attractive
13:42I am not an expert on that, but I would always advise people to continue with their fundamental
13:49assessment and speculative information, then overreact not to do that, so you don't
13:57have to do that, so you can't do that, so you can do that, so you can do that, so
14:03you
14:03can do that, so personally, in your experience, the asset classes, the equities are good or
14:10then you can diversify different classes in different classes?
14:15Diversification is always a good strategy, if you have a good investment, if you have
14:20a good investment, if you have a good investment, fixed income plus equity and these commodities
14:26like gold asset, so it is good, if you have a good risk, you have a good hedge, so you
14:34have
14:34a good investment, but my advice is to make your financial planner, it will be better, but
14:40the diversified portfolio is always better.
14:43So, sir, if you hit higher than that, so thatrology increases the growth eigenen

15:19essential borrowing
15:20that is what it is
15:22so,
15:23if we go to the
15:24higher rate,
15:24then we will continue
15:26and the sector
15:27is out of it
15:30and the growth
15:31is going on
15:32and the quality is good
15:33so,
15:34I don't have
15:35any indication
15:37that the rate
15:37is not
15:38that the rate
15:40any growth
15:41will come on
15:42Okay,
15:43if you have
15:44the performance
15:45as you have said

15:54foreign
15:57is a sunshine sector, you should definitely focus on the sector, because in the sector
16:01there is a revival and the asset quality is very improved, significantly improved, the
16:07credit cost bank, the MFIs, the growth is good and the growth is good, the sector
16:14is 20% of the growth of the sector, if you look at Crystal's report, the asset quality
16:21is significantly improved, profitability will grow, and if the valuation of the
16:27sector is very suppressed, if you look at the opportunity, it is a very good opportunity
16:33to invest in today's day in the microfinance sector.
16:36Okay, sir, one last question, if you look at liquidity, if you look at liquidity, the
16:43lending or saving rates, when are you expecting the transmission, when are you expecting,
16:49because you have said that in the near future there will not be so fast, but the transmission
16:54will happen, when will it happen, and what kind of scenario expect will it happen?
17:00Usually, the transmission will be 3-6 months, 1-2 quarters, so that will be the time for
17:07the transmission of the rates, and as we increase the rates, it is good for the depositors,
17:43it is good for the investment.
18:07Thank you so much, Mr. Sareed.
18:27Thank you so much, Mr. Sareed.
