Indiens riksbank sänker oväntat styrräntan. Reserve Bank of India har på torsdagen beslutat att sänka styrräntan till 7,75 %, från den tidigare nivån på 8,00 %. Beskedet var oväntat, och har fått de indiska aktierna att rusa. Det betyder att även de börshandlade fonder (ETFer) med fokus på den indiska börsen rusar.
Bank of Korea beslutade i dag att lämna styrräntan oförändrad vid 2,00 %, vilket var helt i linje med förväntningarna.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is India’s central banking institution, which controls the monetary policy of the Indian rupee. It commenced its operations on 1 April 1935 during the British Rule in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.[6] The original share capital was divided into shares of 100 each fully paid, which were initially owned entirely by private shareholders.[7] Following India’s independence on 15 August 1947, the RBI was nationalised on 1 January 1949.
The RBI plays an important part in the Development Strategy of the Government of India. It is a member bank of the Asian Clearing Union. The general superintendence and direction of the RBI is entrusted with the 21-member Central Board of Directors: the Governor, 4 Deputy Governors, 2 Finance Ministry representatives, 10 government-nominated directors to represent important elements of India’s economy, and 4 directors to represent local boards headquartered at Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and New Delhi. Each of these local boards consists of 5 members who represent regional interests, the interests of co-operative and indigenous banks.
