The Reserve Bank of India recently increased it’s reverse repurchase rate to 3.5% from a record low 3.25%.  This was done because two high-ranking bank officials said that inflation in India has become “imperative”.

Furthermore, the treasurer of BNP Paribas in Mumbai stated, “This is just a sign of things to come.  A 25 basis point increase does not get you there, but it sets the course.” (more…)
