Interview with Bloomberg Quint – Shri Shaktikanta Das, Governor, Reserve Bank of India on March 5, 2020
Sir I will start with the big picture question. You are back in the day before the RBI became a flexible inflation targeting central bank.

At the same time, I said don’t maintain a Panglossian countenance and do nothing about it. There are challenges. You have to deal with it
