INDIA: RBI See Spillover of Food Prices to Other Components

INDIA

Highlights from the RBI’s monthly bulletin:

  • Monetary policy vigil is warranted so as to prevent the generalisation of inflationary pressures, in order to achieve overall price stability and thereby preserve and strengthen the foundations of a high growth trajectory.
  • Persistent food inflation is spilling over through general inflation expectations to costs, services charges and output prices, although this fuller impact is offset by monetary policy.
  • In India, aggregate demand conditions are gathering momentum with revival in rural consumption on the back of growing incomes.
  • Headline inflation moderated from its spike in June to 3.5 per cent in July, but this was primarily due to the downward statistical pull of base effects.
