Only marginal decline in manufacturing inflation cause of concern: FM

17 Jan 2012 Evaluate

Even as the Union Finance Minister exuded confidence that the headline inflation would moderate between 6 and 7 percent by the end of fiscal year 2011-12, Pranab Mukherjee remained a bit apprehensive over only slight decline in manufacturing inflation and rate of price rise in the power group of items. According to the monthly inflation data, the index for manufactured products, which has weight of almost 65% in the wholesale price index (WPI), slipped only to 7.41% in December as against 7.70% in the previous month.

Finance Minister remained confident that moderation in inflation would continue in the coming months though softening in the prices of manufactured goods, despite the rapid decline in non-food primary inflation, may be more gradual. India’s headline inflation sank below the uncomfortable 9% levels for the first time since December, 2010 to the lowest levels in around two years to 7.47% in December, 2011. The sharp plunge in December headline inflation was mainly due to significant decline in inflation for primary articles including food inflation.

Mukherjee also underscored the fact that with encouraging November industrial production growth, the recent headline inflation figures point at improving overall macro-economic scenario in the second half of 2011-12 and with some policy measures this trend is likely to consolidate in the coming months.
