Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das stated at the World Economic Forum that India’s monetary policy must remain actively disinflationary despite a recent drop in core inflation. While acknowledging the decline in core inflation, Das emphasized the need to focus on the headline number. He expressed concerns about global geopolitical volatility affecting economies, particularly highlighting the vulnerability of food inflation to disruptions in global supply chains. Das anticipates January inflation to moderate but emphasized the importance of sustained inflation reaching 4% before considering a shift in policy focus.
