RBI quote- Dr Niranjan Hiranandani
As per Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman, NAREDCO and Hiranandani Group, “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate unchanged is a stabilizing force in the current volatile global economic scenario. With the U.S. recession threats hovering, the Bangladesh crisis impacting regional capital flows, and broader global economic uncertainties, steady home loan interest rates offer a semblance of predictability. However, stakeholders must closely monitor these geopolitical undercurrents and macroeconomic indicators to adapt their strategies effectively.”
“From a real estate standpoint, lowering the repo rate could have helped revive affordable housing, which has been negatively affected by higher interest rates. However, NRI investors, in particular, find this predictability crucial amidst fluctuating foreign exchange rates and global undercurrents. As the market remains steady, it provides fertile ground for both long-term and short-term real estate investments, but vigilance towards inflation trends, fiscal policies, and global economic developments remains imperative.”
