आज, रिज़र्व बैंक ने अपने द्विमासिक ग्रामीण उपभोक्ता विश्वास सर्वेक्षण (आरसीसीएस)1 2 के परिणाम जारी किए हैं। सर्वेक्षण भारत के सभी राज्यों और तीन प्रमुख केंद्र शासित प्रदेशों (यूटी) के ग्रामीण और अर्ध-शहरी क्षेत्रों में रहने वाले परिवारों से उनकी वर्तमान धारणा (पिछले वर्ष की तुलना में) तथा एक वर्ष आगे की अपेक्षाओं के बारे में जानकारी एकत्रित करता है, जो देश की सामान्य आर्थिक स्थिति, रोजगार परिदृश्य, समग्र मूल्य स्थिति, स्वयं की आय और व्यय पर आधारित होती है।यह सर्वेक्षण परिवारों की वर्तमान मुद्रास्फीति धारणा और आगामी वर्ष के लिए उनकी अपेक्षाओं के बारे में भी जानकारी एकत्र करता है। सर्वेक्षण का नवीनतम दौर 2-11 मई, 2025 के दौरान आयोजित किया गया था, जिसमें कुल 8,969 वैध प्रतिक्रियाएँ शामिल थी। मुख्य विशेषताएँ:
-
वर्तमान अवधि के लिए ग्रामीण उपभोक्ता विश्वास पिछले सर्वेक्षण दौर के लगभग समान स्तर पर ही बना रहा। वर्तमान स्थिति सूचकांक (सीएसआई)3 में हल्की गिरावट आई, जो तटस्थ रेखा के साथ मेल खाता है (चार्ट 1; टेबल 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 और 9)।
-
भविष्य की अपेक्षा सूचकांक (FEI) द्वारा दर्ज की गई एक वर्ष आगे की परिदृश्य मे लगातार सुधार हो रहा है तथा यह आशावादी क्षेत्र में बना है [चार्ट 1; टेबल 9]।
-
वर्तमान सर्वेक्षण दौर में कीमतों और मुद्रास्फीति, दोनों समयावधियों में वृद्धि की अपेक्षा करने वाले वाले ग्रामीण परिवारों की हिस्सेदारी में गिरावट आई है (टेबल 3 और 4)।
-
मई 2025 में मुद्रास्फीति के बारे में परिवारों की मौजूदा धारणा पिछले दौर की तुलना में 30 आधार अंकों से कम होकर 6.3 प्रतिशत हो गईं है। एक वर्ष आगे की उनकी मुद्रास्फीति अपेक्षाएँ भी 40 आधार अंकों से कम होकर 8.9 प्रतिशत हो गईं है (टेबल 12)।

1 ग्रामीण उपभोक्ता विश्वास सर्वेक्षण में ग्रामीण और अर्ध-शहरी दोनों क्षेत्रों को शामिल किया गया है। 2 सर्वेक्षण के परिणाम उत्तरदाताओं के विचारों को दर्शाते हैं, जो जरूरी नहीं कि रिजर्व बैंक द्वारा साझा किए गए हों। पिछले सर्वेक्षण दौर के परिणाम 09 अप्रैल, 2025 को बैंक की वेबसाइट पर जारी किए गए थे। 3 सीएसआई और एफईआई को पांच सर्वेक्षण मापदंडों अर्थात सामान्य आर्थिक स्थिति, रोजगार, आय, मूल्य स्तर और व्यय पर शुद्ध प्रतिक्रियाओं के साथ संकलित किया गया है, जो क्रमशः वर्तमान अवधि (एक वर्ष पहले की तुलना में) और एक वर्ष आगे के लिए है। सीएसआई और एफईआई = 100 + उपरोक्त मापदंडों के शुद्ध प्रतिक्रियाओं का औसत 4 सर्वेक्षण के पिछले दौर के लिए यूनिट-स्तर के डेटा, बैंक के भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था पर डेटाबेस (DBIE) पोर्टल (वेबलिंक: https://data.rbi.org.in/#/dbie/home) पर 'यूनिट-स्तर डेटा' शीर्षक के अंतर्गत उपलब्ध हैं। 5 शुद्ध प्रतिक्रिया' आशावाद और निराशावाद व्यक्त करने वाले उत्तरदाताओं के प्रतिशत के बीच का अंतर है। यह -100 से 100 के बीच होता है। शून्य से अधिक का कोई भी मान विस्तार/आशावाद दर्शाता है जबकि शून्य से कम मान संकुचन/निराशावाद दर्शाता है। |
