Economic outlook risks and deposit insurance activities came under review at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Central Board meeting in Mumbai. Governor Sanjay Malhotra chaired the Board's 625th meeting.
Economic risks on the agenda
The RBI's Central Board of Directors discussed prevailing economic conditions and associated challenges at its 625th meeting in Mumbai on October 30, 2026.
Governor Sanjay Malhotra chaired the proceedings.
The Board evaluated potential risks to the economic outlook and reviewed the activities of the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation.
It also reviewed activities of selected Central Office Departments of the RBI.
Board members took the Integrity Pledge as part of Vigilance Awareness Week 2026.
The statement did not specify the risks discussed or report a policy decision.
Chief General Manager Brij Raj signed press release 2026-2027/1414.
Deputies and directors attend
Deputy Governors Swaminathan J., Poonam Gupta, Shirish Chandra Murmu and Rohit Jain attended the meeting.
Other Central Board directors present included Anuradha Thakur, Secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs, alongside Anand Gopal Mahindra, Janmejaya Kumar Sinha, Syed Akbaruddin and Annie George Mathew.
The release lists their attendance but does not attribute individual views to any participant or provide a voting record for the matters discussed.
Agenda without policy detail
The release records a review of economic risks, not a change in policy.
It identifies the institutions and activities examined but gives no findings from those reviews.
The stated agenda therefore offers no basis for inferring a policy response.
