The Expert Committee formed under the supervisionof Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor, Urjit Patel,released their report to revise and strengthen the monetarypolicy framework, earlier this year. Since then, the reporthas been heavily discussed and debated in academic andpolicy circles. It recommends a fundamental change in theway monetary policy is conducted in India. The onerecommendation that has been the main talking point sofar is the adoption of a flexible inflation target. Here weattempt to analyse this particular recommendation of thecommittee against the backdrop of the current Indianeconomic scenario.

Monetary policy in independent India has evolvedsubstantially over the past several decades. India adoptedwidespread liberalisation, privatisation, and deregulationreforms in the early 1990s. During the post-liberalisationperiod running up to the present time, the RBI has beenfollowing a multiple-indicator approach for executingmonetary policy. In this approach, information is gatheredon various macroeconomic indicators such as output, trade,credit, inflation rate, exchange rate, capital flows etc.Thereafter, monetary policy is designed to fulfil the multipleobjectives of increasing employment, closing the gap withpotential output, moderating inflation, stabilising exchangerate and so on.

This kind of multiple-indicator approach, however,lacks a nominal anchor or a specific target per se and henceit may be argued that it is less likely to be effective inachieving all the objectives at the same time. Such anapproach makes the monetary policy highly discretionaryand runs the risk of sending confusing signals to marketparticipants as well as corporations.

In India, the multiple-indicator approach of themonetary policy worked relatively well, especially betweenthe late 1990s and late 2000s when Indian GDP was growingat a healthy and robust rate of close to 10 per cent or more,and inflation (measured by the wholesale price index orWPI) was moderate at around 5-6 per cent. This was alsothe time when all was apparently well in the global economy,which was going through a phase of relatively low outputvolatility.

The most comprehensive indicator of economic growthin an economy is the average annual growth in real GrossDomestic Product (GDP) that is originating within thegeographical boundary and measured at constant baseperiod prices. It would, therefore, reflect averageincremental availability of goods and services produceddomestically in the economy over time. When the growth

of real GDP is adjusted for the population growth, it givesthe average annual growth of per capita real GDP andreflects closely the improvements in standard of livingenjoyed by people in the economy on an average overtime. This is particularly valid for large countries where thecross-border flows of goods and services are limited inrelation to the amount produced within the geographicalboundary. These three average annual growth rates in (i)real GDP, (ii) population and (iii) per capita GDP (PCI) arevery significant parameters to reflect the performance andprospects of economic development in any country over afairly long time period.

The history of economic growth in India is bothinteresting and educative. Comparable time series estimatesof real GDP in India can be stretched back till the year 1890for meaningful analysis.

The growth performance during the first phase whenthe country was under the last 50 years of the British rulewas the worst during all the phases so far. Real GDP grewat around 1 per cent annually and so did the population.As a result, the per capita real income almost stagnated forthe first fifty years of the last century in India. Since thelast fifty years of the British rule in the country wereperhaps the best period for the Indian economy under theirrule of about 190 years in terms of development of allphysical and social overhead capital such as railways,ports, schools, colleges, hospitals, banks and otherinstitutions, it can be safely assumed that the stagnationof real living standards of people observed during 1900-51was perhaps the phenomenon during the entire period of190 years of the British rule in the country. These twocenturies of stagnation ensured that one of the richestcountries in the world luring everybody by its wealth andprosperity turned into one of the poorest countries by theyear 1950-51.11. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the

given passage?1) To calculate the economic development of a country

one should have the data related to real GDP andpopulation.

2) During the last fifty years of the British rule thegrowth performance was not at all good.

3) The rates of population growth and economicgrowth were the same during the phase of the lastfifty years of the British rule.

4) The per capita real income during the first fifty yearsof the last century in India registered no positivegrowth rate.

5) During the two centuries of British rule, the lastfifty years was certainly the worst period for theIndian economy.

12. Which of the following correctly gives the averageannual growth of per capita real GDP? Reply on thebasis of the given passage.

But F was sold on Tue.So C was sold on Mon or Wed. Again, it cantbe Mon because then D would be sold onTue. Hence, C was sold on Wed and D onThu. Thus, two magazines were sold after D.From II.

Hence, option 2) does notfollow.Option 3) R = K ? E ? L = T ? G ? DThis leads us to K ? T or T ? K is true.Hence, (T > K) does not follow.Option 4) R = K ? E ? L = T ? G ? DThis leadS us to L ?
