Govt does not need extra funds from RBI to meet fiscal deficit target: Jaitley

26 Nov 2018 Evaluate

In order to meet the fiscal deficit target, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that the government does not need any extra funds from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or any other institution. However, he said that extra funds, which may accrue from the new capital framework of the RBI, can always be used for poverty alleviation programmes over the years by future governments. Besides, India’s fiscal deficit is slated to come down to 3.3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the end of the current fiscal.

Over the criticism that the government was eyeing RBI’s reserves, Jaitley said globally central banks have a capital framework which determines the amount of funds that ought to be maintained as reserves. He said “All we are saying is there has to be some discussion and some norms under which Reserve Bank will have a capital framework,”.

Regarding to the autonomy of the RBI, Finance Minister said it has to be exercised within the framework of law. He said “The government’s viewpoint is that we respect and we will always maintain the autonomy within the framework of the laws which have been laid down”. He added that the government would continue to flag issues with the RBI in the larger interest of the economy, and there has to be coordination between the central bank and the government and he said “If there are sectors of economy which are starved of liquidity or credit, as a sovereign government… we certainly will flag those issues wherever the RBI has the authority to decide certain things”.
