RBI needs to shift focus from inflation management to growth promotion: MPC member Varma

By Economic Times - 5 months ago
With retail inflation nearing the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) 4% target, RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member Jayanth R. Varma emphasized a shift towards promoting growth. He noted that core inflation is benign and projected CPI inflation for 2024-25 is only 0.5 percentage points above target. Varma advocated for a less restrictive monetary policy to balance disinflation and support economic growth, which is expected to be slightly lower in the coming years.
