Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan reportedly said that India’s macroeconomic factors are under control as the economy is in a much better position compared to other economies despite stocks and rupee hitting new lows. Further he stated that India is having $380 billion in forex reserves which can be used in times of crisis.
Hinting at a rate cut given the low inflation, record low crude and other commodity prices, Rajan said that RBI would strive to give the lowest interest rates that are consistent with the effort at bringing inflation under control. Further, RBI will look at emerging room for more accommodation on the back of lower commodity prices, astute food management by the government and strong anti-inflation policy stance of the central bank.
While talking about inflation, Rajan said the Central Bank’s priority will be to help economic growth by bringing down inflation along a glide path that aims to keep consumer prices growing at an annualized rate of between 2% and 6%. The annual consumer price inflation of India slowed down to 3.78% in July the lowest on the record.
