Adequate food stocks available: Arun Jaitley

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Saturday said there were enough food stocks in the country and hence a poor monsoon was not an issue to worry about.

"Bad monsoon will impact the food produce to some extent but since there are adequate food stocks available in the country, it is not a cause for worry," Jaitley told the media here.

When asked about the state of inflation, Jaitley said it was natural to experience some inflation along with growth.

"It is natural that there will be some inflation; inflation increases along with growth," he said.
