Govt likely to finalise three MPC members in August

22 Aug 2016 Evaluate

After selecting Urjit Patel as the next governor of the Reserve Bank of India, the government is likely to initiate the process of finalising names of three independent directors for Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) and the decision is expected to be taken in the next few days or may be in the beginning of the next month. The committee will fix the benchmark interest rate of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and set inflation targets.

The government has already started the process of finalizing three members for the panel, while the RBI has nominated executive director Michael Patra to be its nominee on it, in addition to the Governor and the Deputy Governor in-charge of the monetary policy department. The government nominees have been selected by a search-cum-selection Committee lead by Cabinet Secretary with RBI Governor, Economic Affairs Secretary and three experts in the field of economics / banking / finance / monetary policy as its members.

The next bi-monthly RBI policy, scheduled on October 4, will be decided by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).  Therefore, even if the appointment takes time, the MPC can continue the work with regard to setting up interest rate to meet the inflation target fixed by the government.  Under the agreement with the government, RBI is committed to anchoring retail inflation at 4 per cent (plus/minus 2 per cent) and has set itself a target of 5 per cent by next March as part of a 'glide path' to achieving the median mark.

Members of the MPC will be appointed for a period of four years and shall not be eligible for reappointment. The idea of setting up an MPC was mooted by an RBI-appointed committee led by deputy governor Urjit Patel in February 2014. Though it had recommended a five-member committee where three members would be from RBI and two external members would be appointed by the RBI governor and the deputy governor in-charge.
