(Address delivered by Shri M. Rajeshwar Rao, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India – April 30, 2022 – in the International Research Conference on Insolvency and Bankruptcy held at IIM Ahmedabad)

xiii. Governor’s (Shaktikanta Das) Interview with media on May 23, 2022

Key notes :-

  • He discussed on various topics on steps taken by RBI to cut down Inflation, OMO (Open Market operations), cryptos and Rupee Fluctuations.
  • For the inflation, the target for the advanced economies, for example, is 2 per cent; the USA is at 8.3 per cent; the United Kingdom is at 9 per cent; the euro area is more than 7 per cent;. except for Japan and one more country, all of them are in excess of 7 per cent. In India, our target is 4 per cent and we have a tolerance band which goes up to 6 per cent; we are 7.8 per cent.
  • On Cryptos, our position remains very clear. It will seriously undermine the monetary, financial and macroeconomic stability of India. And we stick to that position.
