Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das has asserted that the high interest rates are not impeding growth, and made it clear that the monetary policy will unambiguously focus on getting down inflation going forward.
Moreover, he said the country is at the threshold of a major structural shift in its growth trajectory and is moving towards a path where 8 per cent real GDP growth can be sustained on a yearly basis. He stated ‘Normally if growth is well sustained, if you’ve good growth, then it is a clear sign that your monetary policy and your interest rates are not acting as an impediment to growth.’
He said RBI’s nowcasting team is projecting a GDP growth number at 7.4 per cent for the June quarter, which is higher than the central bank’s own estimate of 7.3 per cent, and added that he is confident of the economy growing at the RBI estimated 7.2 per cent for FY25.
