Last week, RBI governor Shaktikanta Das said that the ihe inflation-growth balance is moving favourably. “Growth is holding firm. Inflation continues to moderate, mainly driven by the core component which reached its lowest level in the current series in April 2024. The deflation in fuel prices is ongoing. Food inflation, however, remains elevated,” he said in the central bank’s monetary policy statement.
“While the MPC took note of the disinflation achieved so far without hurting growth, it remains vigilant to any upside risks to inflation, particularly from food inflation, which could possibly derail the path of disinflation. Hence, monetary policy must continue to remain disinflationary and be resolute in its commitment to aligning inflation to the target of 4.0 per cent on a durable basis,” he said when talking about why the MPC decided to keep the repo rate unchanged.
