MUMBAI – In the backdrop of global uncertainties resulting in supply chain disruptions for trade, the Reserve Bank of India has decided to increase the period of foreign exchange outlay for merchants' trade transactions to six months from four months, Governor Sanjay Malhotra said while detailing the outcome of the Monetary Policy Commttee's meeting. "This relaxation is expected to help Indian merchants overcome the challenges they face in completing their business transactions efficiently while maintaining profitability," the RBI said.
The amendments to regulations will be notified shortly. The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee, in a unanimous decision Wednesday, left the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.50%, the central bank's Governor Sanjay Malhotra said. The committee also retained its 'neutral' policy stance. End
