What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC reports India's central bank has raised rates for the first time since 2023, as Middle East conflict keeps inflation fuelled across the region.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo someone finally raised something besides my blood pressure. Is a rate hike when the bank gets taller?
