On growth and inflation, the RBI Governor said tackling inflation is the priority of the top bank. At the same time, we will try to ensure it does not affect growth much, he said.
Shaktikanta Das said as far as India’s growth is concerned, I am very confident.
“We will keep monitoring it and take the necessary action as and when required,” he said.
He said slowing world economy will also impact the country, however, so far, we are progressing well on this front.
On guidance, he said it is easy to give guidance when you cut interest rates, but the situation is changing rapidly and hence it will be difficult to say anything on this topic.
He said we are performing well on the agriculture sector front, while India’s position on forex reserve is also strong.
Speaking on the devaluation of rupee, he said the Indian currency has fallen less in comparison to other currencies, while bank’s capital adequacy ratio has also improved
