The overall monetary and liquidity conditions, therefore, remain accommodative. In such a scenario, it is necessary to persevere with the stance of withdrawal of accommodation to ensure a decisive process of disinflation. The sustained buoyancy in domestic demand, especially private consumption and investment, is driving growth.
