The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to cut policy rates by 50 basis points in early 2025, following a shift to a neutral liquidity stance and a CRR reduction to pre-COVID levels. This move aims to support growth and investments but may temporarily impact banks' Net Interest Margins, especially for Public Sector Banks. Asset quality pressures, particularly in unsecured loans, are expected to ease by FY26, though challenges remain for Microfinance Institutions. Overall, these changes could benefit the banking sector despite near-term challenges.
