NEW DELHI: Interest rates have to come down by another 2-3 percentage points in order to stimulate demand in the economy, ICICI Bank chief K V Kamath said on Tuesday.
The Reserve Bank of India has taken a string of measures over the past few weeks to improve liquidity and boost growth, cutting its key lending rate - the repo - by 150 basis points to 7.5 per cent and lowering banks' reserve requirements.
