(Bloomberg) -- The Reserve Bank of India said Friday that its current inflation targeting regime is effective at containing price-growth and that it recommends the government renew it for another five years.
The central bank’s recommendation on flexible inflation targeting, known as FIT, comes after a run of consumer prices above its expected range raised speculation that the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi would order up a new mechanism to replace the one put in place in 2016. Modi’s administration will likely make a final decision this year.
