New Delhi: Experts have speculated that the RBI may reduce policy rates once. If cut, this would be the fifth consecutive reduction in interest rates. Since January, the central bank has cut the repo rate by 1.10 per cent in four times. Earlier in the last monetary review in August, the Reserve Bank had reduced the repo rate by 0.35 per cent to 5.40 per cent. The government has taken steps to cut the corporate tax rate and increase the offtake of debt to strengthen the economic conditions in the coming festive season.
