Rupee witnessed ‘low volatility’, orderly movements as compared to its peers: Shaktikanta Das

23 Nov 2023 Evaluate

Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das said the rupee has witnessed ‘low volatility’ and orderly movements as compared to its peers. He said household inflation expectations are becoming more anchored, but added that headline inflation is vulnerable to recurring and overlapping food price shocks. He said ‘On the exchange rate front, the Indian rupee (INR) has exhibited low volatility and orderly movements relative to peers despite elevated US treasury yields and a strong US dollar’. He said this is courtesy the strength of the underlying macro-fundamentals of our economy and the reassuring forex buffers.

Crediting RBI's rate hikes, liquidity tightening moves and supply-side measures undertaken by the government for the headline consumer price inflation cooling off to 4.9 per cent in October, Das stressed that the RBI is ‘completely focused’ on getting the headline inflation down to 4 per cent. He said the monetary policy will be ‘watchful’ about the emerging trends and ‘actively disinflationary’, and added that it will be supporting growth as well. He said the softening in the core inflation gives the RBI the conviction that ‘monetary policy seems to be working’.

He also reiterated the Arjuna analogy to speak about the resolute focus of the central bank on inflation, and also borrowed from the ‘Swayamvar’ scene in the mythological text to say that just like Arjuna focusing on the bird's eye while calculating the ripples and sound in the room, the central bank also takes into account various other aspects. Meanwhile, he said household inflation expectations are becoming more anchored and cited recent surveys by the Reserve Bank which illustrate this.
