Our View
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) primarily looks at WPI inflation while deciding on monetary policy. A fall in WPI inflation thus gives the central bank more space to cut repo rate. However, economists see the sharp slide in the rupee of late pushing inflation up and complicating the chances of further monetary easing. RR Information Research 47, M.M.
