Towards A Greener Cleaner India - Inaugural Address by Dr. Michael Debabrata Patra, Deputy Governor, RBI at the New York Fed Central Banking Seminar organised by the Federal Reserve Bank, New York, on October 9, 2023, at New York
Good Morning to you all! I am delighted to be here again at the prestigious Annual Central Banking Seminar, a flagship event of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for which it has earned global renown. It is truly an honour to interact with central bankers from around the world, our community of tomorrow. You embody the theme of India’s G20 Presidency – Vasudhaivya Kutumbakam: the world is one family.
The Climate is Striking Back
In my past interactions in this Seminar, I have dwelled on macroeconomic stability; price stability; exchange rate stability; financial stability – all essentially issues centered around the core competence of conservative central bankers from which we are reluctant to stray. After all, central banks stand for stability.
