Mumbai, Feb 5 (IANS): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday retained its key short-term lending rates along with the growth-oriented accommodative stance.
Accordingly, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the central bank voted to maintain the repo rate, or short-term lending rate, for commercial banks, at 4 per cent.
Likewise, the reverse repo rate was kept unchanged at 3.35 percent, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the 'Bank Rate' at 4.25 percent.
