Amid the concerns of economic downturn, the Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Anand Sinha has said that the government and the RBI are taking all possible steps to revive the macro-economic indicators like high inflation and current account deficit (CAD) and low economy’s growth. Anand Sinha, who looks after banking supervision at RBI, further said that the financial sector is bound to grow in tandem with the growth of the real economy. Indian economy’s growth has slowed down to decade low growth of around 5 percent in previous fiscal, while the inflation based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) stood at 9.31percent in May. On the other hand, current account deficit (CAD) widened to record high of 6.7 percent of GDP in the third quarter of FY13.
In order to boost the economy’s growth, the government has taken various measures and has recently set up Cabinet Committee on Investment's (CCI) to accelerate the implementation of infrastructure projects and raise foreign direct investment in various sectors like retail and aviation. It also raised the import duty on gold to 8 percent to check the widening CAD. Further, to control the inflation, the central bank maintained a status quo at its recent policy meet and left key policy rates unchanged.
Referring to the financial sector development, RBI deputy governor has said that financial sector is going to expand, considerably and stressed the need to expand the presence of banking. He said that we need high banking technology and the new set of guidelines enabled large business houses and large commercial entities to set up banks, which fulfills our agenda of financial inclusion.
