Statement by Dr. Raghuram G Rajan, Governor, on Monetary Policy
It may be recalled that in its statement on monetary policy of January 15, 2015 the Reserve Bank reduced the policy repo rate by 25 basis points and indicated that ““Key to further easing are data that confirm continuing disinflationary pressures. Also critical would be sustained high quality fiscal consolidation…”.While maintaining the interest rate stance in its sixth bi­monthly monetary policy statement of February 3 in the absence of new developments on inflation or on the fiscal outlook till then, the Reserve Bank indicated that it will keenly monitor the revision in the consumer price index
(CPI) with regard to the path of inflation in 2015­16 as well as the Union Budget for 2015­16.
Data Developments
The new CPI rebased to 2012 was released on February 12, 2015. Inflation in January 2015 at 5.1 per cent as measured by the new index was well within the target of 8 per cent for January 2015. Prices of vegetables declined and, hearteningly, inflation excluding food and fuel moderated in a broad­based manner to a new low. Thus, disinflation is evolving along the path set out by the Reserve Bank in
January 2014 and, in fact, at a faster pace than earlier envisaged.
The uncertainties surrounding any inflation

    This article goes into the Federal Reserves recent announcement to try to stimulate the sluggish economy. Ben Bernanke announced that the fed would begin buying mortgage-backed securities and keep the interest rate low for several years. To be more specific, he said that the Fed would buy $40 billion a month of the mortgage-backed securities until the improvement of the job market. This came after recent jobs reports stating the unemployment rate remaining around 8.1%. News of the decision sent markets soaring as Ben Bernanke left the door open for further government involvement if the economy doesn’t pick up. The decision wasn’t without its controversy. Many economists point to the possibility of increasing inflation in the long run, overshadowing the short-term gains. In addition, some argued it didn’t go far enough, while others used the move to show how the current presidents policies are failing the country. His other announcement was that he was keeping short-term interest rates near zero until 2015 (an additional year past the original date). In a surprising vote, only one Fed official votes against ht the move, proving it was a good move by Ben Bernanke. The goal for the move is to invigorate or speed up the recovery process, specifically in the housing market.…

    The RBA’s market operations are very important because it is how the bank influences not only economic activity but also inflation. (RBA 2007, Central Bank Market Operations, pp.19) Market operations are used to implement monetary policy, which involves dealing in markets to influence the interest rate on overnight funds in the money market. A target cash rate is set by the RBA for a period which in effect determines the interest rate that ADI’s charge on loans. Once the target cash rate is determined it is then the responsibility of the Domestic Markets department of the RBA to manage the cash rate and keep it in line with the target. One of the major indicators is the balance ADI’s hold in their Exchange Settlement Accounts (ESAs).…

    Inflation can be defined as the overall general upward price movement of goods and services in an economy (BLS, 2007).

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures inflation as experienced by consumers in their day-to-day living expenses and is separated into two groups or populations of consumers: The CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).…
