New Delhi, Aug 2 (IBNS): The Central government has welcomed the 25 basis points cut in the repo rate announced on Wednesday by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), said Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Subhash Chandra Garg.

The MPC held its third Bi-Monthly Meeting in Mumbai on Wednesday.

He said, “We have taken note of the statement of the MPC and its assessment of the inflation and growth outlook. We welcome the 25 basis points cut in the repo rate as an important step necessary to converge toward the appropriate real monetary conditions for sustained growth consistent with India’s potential and for stable, moderate inflation."
