Government sets inflation target of 4% for next five years

08 Aug 2016 Evaluate

Government has notified an inflation target at 4 per cent with a range of 2 per cent for the next five years, just days ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) bi-monthly monetary policy review. It is an important confirmation of the inflation-fighting policies championed by outgoing RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, who steps down next month.

Finance Ministry has said that fixation of an inflation target while giving due emphasis to the objective of growth and challenges of an increasingly complex economy, is an important monetary policy reform with necessary statutory back-up. The inflation target is a part of the Monetary Policy Framework agreement between the Finance Ministry and the RBI signed in January last year. This will mean that the RBI will work to contain consumer price index-based inflation at an average 4 per cent, with an upper limit of 6 per cent and lower limit of 2 per cent.

Under the agreement, the six-member committee will set interest rates to lower consumer price inflation to 4 per cent from 2016-17. Each member of the committee will have one vote and the RBI Governor will have a second or casting vote, in case of a tie. Earlier, the government had also notified the amended RBI Act and the rules for the procedure for selection of members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) and terms and conditions of their appointment and factors constituting failure to meet inflation target under the MPC Framework.
