RBI to consider CAD, macro factors for policy decision

He

also said high current account deficit is leading to the rupee weakening.

India's current account deficit widened to a record high 6.7 per cent of GDP in the December quarter, driven by heavy oil and gold imports and muted exports, in a worse-than-expected performance.
