FIEO welcomes RBI rate cut, anticipates strong boost for exporters, trade finance and economic growth

New Delhi, Dec 5 (UNI) The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) welcomed the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to reduce the repo rate by 25 basis points, describing it as a timely and encouraging step that will enhance export competitiveness and ease liquidity constraints across the exporting community.
SC Ralhan, President of FIEO, said, “We appreciate the RBI’s timely intervention. A 25-bps cut in the repo rate will significantly lower the cost of credit for exporters, enabling them to invest more freely in working capital, technology upgradation, and international marketing efforts. This is a much-needed boost at a time when global demand is volatile, and input costs remain unpredictable.”
According to FIEO, the rate cut is expected to generate several positive ripple effects for the export ecosystem.
Exporters availing pre and post-shipment credit will benefit from reduced financing costs, improving profitability and reducing reliance on high-cost credit instruments.
Easier access to funds will also help streamline working capital cycles, allowing timely procurement of raw materials, better inventory management, and smoother fulfilment of export orders.
Additionally, lower interest rates may encourage industry-wide expansion and modernisation, fostering higher value addition and supporting the government’s broader export-promotion objectives.
Ralhan also emphasised that lower interest rates will ease the burden of trade financing, support higher production levels and encourage diversification across export-oriented sectors. UNI SAS KK
