RBI Says Trade Deals With EU, US & Others Strengthen India’s External Sector Outlook

RBI Says Trade Deals With EU, US & Others Strengthen India’s External Sector Outlook

Feb 06, 2026, 06:19 PM IST

Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra has said that India’s macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong, stable and healthy, expressing high confidence in the country’s external sector outlook. Speaking after the latest monetary policy decision, the Governor highlighted robust growth prospects, controlled inflation and a manageable current account deficit, while noting that India has sufficient foreign exchange reserves to comfortably meet external financing needs. Recent bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, including deals with the European Union and other partners, are expected to boost exports, investment inflows and overall economic momentum in the coming years. The RBI has also emphasised that India’s external sector remains resilient, supported by strong services exports, remittances and stable capital flows. The central bank noted that India’s forex reserves provide more than 11 months of import cover, reinforcing financial stability. With GDP growth projected around 7.4% and risks described as balanced, policymakers remain optimistic about the near- and medium-term outlook for the Indian economy, despite global uncertainties.

RBI Credit Policy LIVE Analysis | Aditya Pagaria Explains Rate Pause Impact

RBI Credit Policy LIVE Analysis | Aditya Pagaria Explains Rate Pause Impact

Feb 06, 2026, 05:28 PM IST

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its repo rate unchanged at 5.25% in its February 2026 Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) review, maintaining a neutral stance amid benign inflation (around 2-2.5%, below the 4% target) and resilient growth. Senior Fixed Income Fund Manager Aditya Pagaria from Axis Mutual Fund discussed the policy's implications. He noted the RBI's cumulative 125 bps rate cuts and ₹17 lakh crore liquidity measures over 1.5 years have supported the economy effectively, signaling the end of the easing cycle with a likely long pause.Despite earlier cuts, 10-year G-Sec yields hardened to around 6.7-6.72% due to demand-supply mismatches (excess supply of ~3.5-4 lakh crore in G-Secs and SDLs) and market anticipation of the pause.Pagadia highlighted portfolio shifts to shorter-duration, accrual-focused strategies (e.g., 1-3 year corporate bonds offering ~200 bps spreads over repo) over volatile long-duration G-Secs. He advised retail and senior investors to consider flexible hybrid funds for managed exposure without timing the market. Short-term yields may see compression post March, while banking remains healthy with low NPAs. The rupee faces reduced pressure post trade deals, expected to stabilize.
