A report from the State Bank of India (SBI) has shed light on the asymmetry in the transmission of monetary policy and interest rates in India. The report suggests that the impact of monetary policy changes on lending and deposit rates is uneven, with rate reductions being transmitted faster and to a greater extent compared to rate hikes. This disparity can have implications for the effectiveness of monetary policy in managing inflation and economic stability. The report underscores the need for a more balanced and efficient rate transmission mechanism to ensure that monetary policy actions are effectively transmitted to the broader economy. Addressing this asymmetry is vital for achieving the desired economic outcomes and maintaining financial stability in India.
