मुद्रास्फीति पर घरेलू अपेक्षाओं का सर्वेक्षण

आज, रिजर्व बैंक ने मुद्रास्फीति पर घरेलू अपेक्षाओं के सर्वेक्षण (IESH)¹ के सितंबर 2020 चक्र के परिणाम जारी किए। कोविड-19 महामारी के चलते यह सर्वेक्षण अगस्त 29 से सितंबर 10, 2020 के बीच 18 प्रमुख शहरों में टेलीफोनिक साक्षात्कार के द्वारा आयोजित किया गया था। इसके परिणाम 5,652 शहरी परिवारों² के प्रत्युत्तरों पर आधारित हैं।

विशेष :

i. परिवारों की मेडियन मुद्रास्फीति अपेक्षाएँ तीन महीने और एक वर्ष आगे की अवधि के लिए उच्च स्तर पर बनी रहीं; हालांकि, वर्तमान मुद्रास्फीति पर उनकी धारणा और अगले तीन महीनों में मुद्रास्फीति अपेक्षा, सर्वेक्षण के पिछले दौर की तुलना में मामूली रूप से कम थी [चार्ट 1a, चार्ट 1b; तालिका 3]।

ii. अधिक परिवारों को उम्मीद है कि तीन महीने और एक साल आगे की अवधि में सामान्य मुद्रास्फीति में वृद्धि होगी, लेकिन जुलाई 2020 की तुलना में अगले तिमाही में खाद्य पदाथों में अधिक मुद्रास्फीति की उम्मीद करने वाले उत्तरदाताओं की हिस्सेदारी में गिरावट आई [तालिका 1a, तालिका 1b]।

¹ यह सर्वेक्षण, जो रिजर्व बैंक द्वारा द्विमासिक अंतराल पर आयोजित किया जाता है, उत्तरदाताओं के अपेक्षित निकट भविष्य में मुद्रास्फीतिकारी दबाव पर उपयोगी निदेशात्मक जानकारी प्रदान करता है और उनकी स्वयं की खपत प्रवृत्ति को प्रतिबिंबित करता है। अतः इन्हें मुद्रास्फीति पर परिवारिक इकाइयो की भावनाओं के रूप में माना जाना चाहिए।

² सर्वेक्षण के पिछले चक्रों के लिए यूनिट-स्तर डेटा बैंक के भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था पर डेटाबेस (DBIE) पोर्टल पर उपलब्ध हैं (वेबलिंक : https://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=unitLevelData)।
