RBI sensitive to growth concerns, no threat of stagflation: Subbarao

04 Jun 2013 Evaluate

Allaying fears of stagflation in the economy, the Reserve Bank of India governor D Subbarao said that the central bank is sensitive to growth concerns but not at the cost of higher inflation. During the interview, the governor said that the RBI takes into account the growth- inflation balance and accordingly it has been easing of interest rate since January last year.     

Maintaining that it is comfortable with 5 percent inflation, Subbarao asserted the need to bring down inflation to 5 percent saying that the relationship between growth and inflation is non-linear. ‘There is a threshold level of inflation and if inflation is above that level, it is unfavourable for growth. If inflation is below that level it is possible that you can bargain for higher growth, tolerating a little higher inflation’ he added.

By adding further, he said that stagflation is prolonged low growth and high inflation. But if we look at the trajectory of growth and inflation, we find that our inflation has come down. Indian economy’s growth has also come down because of crisis the post-crisis developments, he added. Indian GDP growth slowed down to decade low at around 5 percent in the FY13. Meanwhile, the average annual WPI inflation for 2012-13 was 7.34 percent.
