· Business · Business Standard
The Business Standard piece argues that the Reserve Bank of India is being assessed by an inappropriate metric. It highlights the RBI’s dual mandate of price stability and growth, saying that judging it only on inflation ignores other important factors. The commentary notes that recent policy moves, such as the RBI’s rate hikes, are aimed at both managing inflation and supporting credit supply. It does not specify which particular rule is misapplied, but stresses that a single indicator is insufficient for evaluating monetary policy. The article therefore calls for a broader range of metrics to judge the RBI’s performance.
