Inflation not a challenge despite weak monsoon: Jaitley

21 May 2015 Evaluate

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley weighing down the fear of rebound in the inflation has said that it will not be a significant challenge though there is a possibility of below average monsoon and food prices getting impacted. Moreover, Jaitley added, “steps taken by the government has kept food prices low and pro-active government will always keep food prices low”. FM reportedly said that “Global oil prices have moderated, it is excellent for us. Inflation is low because oil prices are low... I don't think in days to come inflation (will be a) significant challenge.”

Jaitley pointing to the challenges that the government may face, said it include the possibility of weak monsoon, promoting private investment and dealing with the global economic problems. The meteorological department has projected the possibility of below normal monsoon which may have implications on country's food production.

Finance Minister has earlier lent his voice to a growing consensus that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) needs to cut interest rates and had said that “I want the interest rates to be lower a lot more, but they (RBI) balance inflation with growth.” The RBI has cut rates by a 50 basis points or 0.50 per cent since January and is due to review them next month.

Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation has been in the negative zone since November, 2014 and came at (-) 2.65 percent in April, from (-) 2.33 percent in March. Retail inflation in April has also softened further and fell to a four-month low of 4.87 percent as prices of food items, vegetables and fruits turned cheaper.
