#RBI kept the repo rate unchanged this year.
But do you know what the repo rate actually does?
A single decision by the RBI can affect your home loan #EMI, car loan, personal loan, fixed deposit returns, and even your investments.
When rates rise, borrowing becomes expensive but #FDs offer better returns.
When rates fall, EMIs become cheaper, businesses get access to cheaper capital, and markets often react positively.
Understanding the repo rate helps you make smarter decisions with your money, whether you're a borrower, saver, or investor.

Edible Oils | Standard Pack Sizes
उपभोक्ता मामले, खाद्य और सार्वजनिक वितरण मंत्रालय ने खाद्य तेलों के लिए standard pack sizes का नियम लागू किया है.
अब 200 ml, 500 ml और 1,2,4 और 5 लीटर के पैक ही मिलेंगे.
पहले 750 ml, 900 ml से लेकर 2.5 या 3.5 लीटर के पैक मिलने लगे थे. हर ब्रांड अपने हिसाब से पैकिंग करने लगा था.
अलग‑अलग साइज के पैक से कीमतों की सही तुलना मुश्किल थी.
अब तय साइज के पैक से कीमतों की तुलना आसान हो जाएगी. इससे उपभोक्ताओं को फायदा होगा.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has nominated Han Seong-sook, the current Minister for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), as the country’s next Prime Minister.
If approved by the National Assembly, Han would become the first female Prime Minister under the Lee administration and only the second woman to hold the post in South Korea’s history, after Han Myeong-sook, who served from 2006 to 2007.
The nomination comes as Prime Minister Kim Min-seok, the first prime minister of the Lee administration, is reportedly stepping down from the post.

Japan has banned #Indian mango shipments again, and this time, the issue is not taste, but trust! Japanese authorities reportedly found lapses at Indian treatment facilities responsible for making sure exported mangoes are pest-free. The concern? Fruit flies…
#Nepal has imposed a #ban on Indian mangoes after border quarantine inspectors detected excessive levels of chemical pesticides in imported shipments. The import restrictions by Kathmandu’s Ministry of Agriculture and #Livestock Development have been in place since April-May.
Nepali authorities are framing the move as beneficial for domestic fruit varieties. Manish Kumar Pal, spokesperson for the Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives of Madhes Province, told The Rising #Nepal that the restriction has created greater opportunities for locally produced, “healthier fruit”.
However, mango traders in the country are worried about potential shortages, price hikes, and major losses.
