RBI Launches 3 Key Surveys for Monetary Policy Input

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on April 29, 2025, launched three key surveys—the Inflation Expectations Survey of Households (IESH), the Urban Consumer Confidence Survey (UCCS), and the Rural Consumer Confidence Survey (RCCS)—to collect public sentiment on inflation, employment, income, and economic confidence.
Covering urban (19 cities) and rural (31 states/UTs) areas, these surveys aim to provide data-driven insights for the upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting from June 4–6, 2025, reinforcing evidence-based policymaking for inflation control and economic management.
