Despite a massive Rs 12 lakh Cr of govt borrowings estimated in FY22,the good thing is,weighted average cost of funds has been 5.78%,so @narendramodi govt will be able to borrow at competitive rates

While Vegetable inflation fell to 3.41% in Dec 2020&Retail inflation fell to 4.59% from 6.93% in Nov 2020,RBI did the right thing by not lowering #Repo,as uptick in Fuel inflation,likely

Do note, #Brent Crude Oil price has risen by 17.67% in just last 1 month,to $59.27 per barrel
As part of continuing efforts to increase retail participation in govt securities,RBI decided to move beyond aggregator model& provide retail investors online access to G-Secs,both primary& secondary, along with facility to open Gilt securities account,with RBI-This is a BIG move
Restoring Held to Maturity, #HTM facility back to 19.5% from June 30th 2023,is a practical move,now that stress on banks' balance sheets is visibly down&treasury portfolios of banks have been steady,with 10yr G-Sec at roughly 6% or thereabouts, for over a year now
