BusinessRBI Raises Repo Rate to 5.50%: Impact on Credit Card Users
The Reserve Bank of India increased the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50%, marking its first hike since February 2023. This change may influence borrowing costs, but credit card interest rates do not automatically rise by the same amount. These rates are set by individual issuers and depend on card terms. Consumers paying full credit card bills on time are not directly affected by the hike.
