Sustained low inflation required to bring the cost of capital: Urjit Patel

18 Sep 2015 Evaluate

Ahead of the bimonthly monetary policy review by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Deputy Governor Urjit Patel has said that the sustained low inflation over medium- to long-term is necessary to bring down the cost of fund. He said that 'Sustained low inflation... At a low enough level is an important ingredient for making the cost apposite to that particular level of inflation and inflationary expectation.”

He has said that fiscal deficit of both the central and state governments also plays an important role in the cost of capital as they are the largest borrowers. He noted that higher cost of restructuring pushes the cost of capital and RBI is trying to address this issue. He added that 'The higher the cost of restructuring, the higher the cost of debt workout, the more it builds in the cost of capital from the side of the lender, and this is something we are in middle of addressing.”  In addition, he said a competitive, vibrant banking system is important for lowering cost of capital, and a lower taxation too is helpful.

Patel also said that the central bank expects Current Account Deficit (CAD) to be around 1.5 percent of GDP in the current fiscal. For the first quarter ended June, CAD narrowed to 1.2 percent of GDP at $6.2 billion following contraction in trade deficit and higher earnings from services exports.
