New RBI guv must keep macro picture in sight

Hindustan Times  

The Reserve Bank of India is one of India’s most illustrious institutions. In 2016, the Centre added another mandate to RBI’s responsibilities, controlling inflation in the economy. India's Press Information Bureau/Handout via REUTERS The change of guard in Mint Street, with Sanjay Malhotra replacing incumbent Shaktikanta Das, comes at a point where the central bank has been steadfastly holding interest rates till inflation aligns itself with the 4% target. That Malhotra is coming from the finance ministry — he was serving as the revenue secretary — has fuelled animated discussion on whether RBI will pivot towards growth from controlling inflation. The speculation is baseless for two reasons: One, it is the Centre that has given the inflation targeting mandate to RBI; and two, repo rates are decided by a collective body that has representation from both RBI and independent economists nominated by the Union finance ministry.
