Accepted Answer

C. Implement targeted long-term repo operations (TLTROs) for specific stressed sectors while maintaining a cautious stance on the policy rate. — Option C offers a balanced approach to address both high inflation and slowing growth.

Answer

A. Drastically reduce the Repo Rate to encourage borrowing and stimulate economic activity.
