| 'Outlays have had no relationship with outcomes' | 15-NOV-09 |
|
| As an Indian, and one who has held high ministerial office, it is only right that I begin by portraying the reality of my own country before drawing comparisons with my South Asian neighbours. The World Food Programme tells us that half the world’s hungry live in India. |

| More micro than macro | 28-OCT-09 |
|
| The monetary policy stance articulated in yesterday’s quarterly announcement broadly lived up to expectations. The main policy instruments — the repo and reverse repo rates and the cash reserve ratio — were not changed. This was consistent with the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) view that, while the recovery was under way, it had not quite consolidated. Among other points of fragility is the agricultural situation, where this year’s output is expected to drop appreciably from last year’s. Consequently, the RBI has maintained its baseline GDP growth forecast for 2009-10 at 6 per cent, somewhat more conservative than those of the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council. Since both those bodies, despite their greater optimism about growth, had already voiced their preference for the status quo, the RBI’s forecast provided an even stronger justification. |
