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।

The Indian economy has emerged as a strong economy post the COVID crisis. Thanks to the Jugalbandi between the Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India; the Indian economy on a relative basis and also an absolute basis now, clearly is on a pedestal positioning. But the challenges of yesterday are different, and the challenges of today are, in a sense, centred around inflation, geopolitical crisis and a high-interest rate regime. So to understand, what is the

Sanjiv Chadha, Managing Director, Bank of Baroda Thank you very much, Governor once again for that tour de force. We are really reassured about the fact that in terms of the external sector, despite what is happening in the neighbouring countries, India is in a different and very strong place. Also, I think the areas you covered in terms of what banks need to focus on, I am sure that will define the agenda for not only this conference but also for the next few years.

Q: What are the risks and opportunities for the Indian economy? The revival of economic activity continues to be steady and is gaining traction. GDP has exceeded 2019-20 levels, and from April 2022 onwards, many high-frequency indicators that we monitor are showing steady improvement. The economy is back on track. In terms of business activities or investment, the opportunities are larger in pharma, technology, and renewables, etc. The other opportunity for India is t

Qn: Good morning, thank you, sir, for this encouraging address. It is so very encouraging to see the regulator talk about various forms of regulations. You talked about entity-based, activity-based and outcome-based regulation. There is another school of thought in terms of the ultimate user, i.e., the borrower segment-centric regulation. I say this, especially in the context of the pandemic and certain conditions. The small borrowers are the ones who get affected the

CNBC TV18 Central bankers have been at the centre of action, the saviours for the economy; be it from the ravages of COVID or now, to rapidly rollback inflation. The Reserve Bank of India has also been the first line of defence for the country, and it made that position very clear when on May 4th, we had that unexpected off-cycle rise in rates. Inflation, nevertheless, is at 7.8 per cent. The man on the hot seat, the RBI governor is with us. Governor, thank you very m

Reserves remove doubt on ability to act: RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das Economic activities are expected to improve further going into July or into the second half, says Governor Das The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is mindful of the entire yield curve and is not just focused on the 10-year bond. However, the 10-year bond has a larger impact on other rates. Hence, the central bank’s intervention in it was greater than in other papers, said RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das in
