Yogesh Dayal:
Hello everyone and welcome to the Reserve Bank of India for this post- Monetary policy press conference. As always, we have here our respected Governor Shri Shaktikanta Das and along with him, our Deputy Governors; Dr. M. D. Patra, Shri M. Rajeshwar Rao, Shri T. Rabi Sankar, Shri Swaminathan J. and also with us today, our Executive Directors Dr. O. P. Mall and Dr. Rajiv Ranjan. With this, I welcome all of you to the RBI’s press conference and before going ahead with the press conference, I will request the Governor to make a few opening remarks. Over to you Sir.
Shaktikanta Das:
Thank you. As I have done on previous occasions, I would like to summarise whatever I have said in my statement, and I have nine points very quickly.
1. Domestic economic activity continues to be resilient. India is poised to become the new growth engine of the world.
2. Declining core inflation is a silver line. But headline CPI inflation remains vulnerable to recurring and overlapping food price shocks.
3. The MPC remains highly alert and will not hesitate to take timely and appropriate action if the situation warrants.
4. It is emphatically reiterated that the inflation target is 4% and not 2% to 6%. Hence, monetary policy needs to remain actively disinflationary at the current juncture.
5. Liquidity will be actively managed consistent with the monetary policy stance. OMO sales will be undertaken, as necessary.
6. Banks with surplus funds are encouraged to lend in the interbank call market for better returns instead of passively parking them in the SDF.
7. The financial sector balance sheet remains robust, while the Reserve Bank is closely monitoring the emerging trends. Banks and NBFCs are expected to strengthen their internal surveillance mechanisms and institute suitable safeguards wherever necessary.
8. Financial stability is fundamental to price stability and growth. That is the core principle which we follow.
9. The external sector is eminently manageable.
Thank you.
Yogesh Dayal:
Thank you Sir for those opening remarks. I will begin the press conference by inviting Mr. Anup Roy from Bloomberg to ask his question.
Anup Roy, Bloomberg:
Sir, this is regarding the OMO announcement that you did. So, will there be a calendar for OMO and is this in preparation for the JP Morgan bond index inclusion?
Shaktikanta Das:
As I have said in my statement, the first thing I would like to say is that it has nothing to do with the bond index inclusion and let me reiterate that it is a part of our domestic liquidity management. With regard to the calendar, I have said that we will watch the evolving trends. There are several moving parts in the whole liquidity scenario. We will watch the evolving trends and we will notify as and when it becomes necessary. So, we do not, at the moment, propose to give a calendar.

Sukumar Ranganathan Good afternoon, everyone. I have with me Mr. Shaktikanta Das, who really needs no introduction, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India; and I think we can all safely say that his has been one of the reassuring voices, every time when he comes on television to present his policy, especially over the last two years in the course of the pandemic. The Bank has seen us through a really tough phase, and there are challenges ahead, so he and I are goin

ज़ी बिजनेस आरबीआई ने कोविड-19 पेंडेमिक के समय देश के बैंकिंग सिस्टम और अर्थव्यवस्था को बड़े मुश्किल दौर से निकालने का काम किया है। ब्याज दरों में तेज कटौती करके, सिस्टम में लिक्विडिटी डालकर, जरूरत पड़ने पर मोराटोरियम देकर और साथ ही साथ लोंस की रिस्ट्रक्चरिंग को आसान करके, अर्थव्यवस्था को उस वक्त जिस बड़े सहारे की जरूरत थी, बैंकिंग सिस्टम को थी, वह काम किया। लेकिन आरबीआई का काम ऐसा है कि चुनौतियां कभी खत्म नहीं होती। अभी भी कुछ बड़ी और नई चुनौतियां हैं, दुनिया भर से भी, और हमारी अपनी भी। एक ओर महंगाई तेजी से बढ़ती जा रही है, ब्याज दरें बढ़ रही है और दूसरी तरफ मजबूत अर्थव्यवस्था में ग्रोथ बरकरार रखने की चुनौतियाँ है। आइए इसी खास मुद्दे पर आज हमारे साथ एक बेहद खास मेहमान, भारतीय रिज़र्व बैंक के गवर्नर श्री शक्तिकान्त दास साहब कार्यक्रम में शामिल हो रहे हैं।
