The Reserve Bank today said inIlation, which is hovering near the double-digit mark, will moderate by March-end on the
back oI better Iarm output.
"InIlation will come down because the production and agriculture sectors will boost up the rural agro-based economy oI the
country," Governor D Subbarao said at a RBI Financial Outreach Programme here in central Assam's Morigaon district.
As per the latest RBI Iorecast, inIlation is expectedto ease to 7 per cent by the end oI March, 2012.
For the month ended October, general inIlation stood at 9.73 per cent. Food inIlation was 9.61 per cent Ior the week ended
November 12.
On the economic growth, he said the Indian economy was stable and will go on despite global economic meltdown.
According to data released today, India's economic growth rate slipped to 6.9 per cent in the second quarter this Iiscal, the
lowest in nine quarters, prompting the government to lower its Iull-year growth projection to 7.3 per cent.
Meanwhile, growth oI eight inIrastructure industries slowed down to 0.1 per cent in October this year, Irom 7.2 per cent
expansion witnessed in the same month last year.
The Reserve Bank in its mid-year credit policy review last month had lowered the GDP projection to 7.6 per cent Ior the
current Iiscal compared to earlier estimate oI 8 per cent.
Subbarao said proper coordination oI Iarm loan recovery was the only way out to strengthen the agro-based economy oI the
country and the North East region, he said.




Moderating growth will ease inflation: RBI
deputy governor








India's moderating growth will help to ease inIlationary pressure in the country, a deputy governor oI the Reserve Bank oI India Subir Gokarn said
Reuters , Dec 3, 2011, 11.02AM IST
MUMBAI: India's moderating growth will help to ease inIlationary pressure in the country, a
deputy governor oI the Reserve Bank oI India Subir Gokarn said on Saturday.
Domestic liquidity conditions are likely to remain stretched Ior some time, Gokarn added, but
said that the central bank would ensure that liquidity stays at comIortable levels.
India's GDP growth Iell to 6.9 percent in the second quarter oI the current Iinancial year, its
weakest pace in more than two years, as persistently high inIlation and 13 interest rate hikes
since March 2010 bite.





Inflation means a persistent rise in tbe price levels of commodities and
services, leading to a fall in tbe currency's purcbasing power. Tbe problem
of inflation used to be confined to national boundaries, and was caused by
domestic money supply and price rises. In tbis era of globalization, tbe
effect of economic inflation crosses borders and percolates to botb
developing and developed nations.
entral bankers believe that mild inIlation, in the 1 to 2 per cent range, is the most benign Ior
a country`s economy. High inIlation, stagIlation or deIlation are all considered to be serious
economic threats.
Wbat Will Cause Inflation?
The Iollowing Iactors can lead to inIlation:
O rlnLlng Loo much money 1hls ls called a loose or expanslonary moneLary pollcy lf Lhere ls a
loL of money golng around Lhen supply ls plenLlful compared Lo Lhe producLs you can buy
wlLh LhaL money 1he law of supply and demand Lherefore dlcLaLesLhaL prlces wlll rlse
O lncreases ln producLlon cosLs
O 1ax rlses
O uecllnes ln exchange raLes
O uecreases ln Lhe avallablllLy of llmlLed resources such as food or oll
O War or oLher evenLs causlng lnsLablllLy
Economists generally believe that money supply is the key cause oI inIlation; in 2008,
however, skyrocketing prices oI oil, Iood and steel caused runaway levels oI inIlation in the
world economy that collapsed only because oI the global Financial risis.
Effects of Inflation
One oI the economic eIIects oI inIlation is the change in the marginal cost oI producing
money. This involves the appropriate 'price' oI money which, in this case, is the nominal rate
oI interest. This 'price' indicates the return which has to bepre-determined to hold back the
printing presses, in place oI some other assets which oIIer the market interest rate.
In addition, iI a country has a higher rate oI inIlation than other countries, its balance oI trade
is likely to move in an unIavorable direction. This is because there is a decline in its price
competitiveness in the global market.
A high rate oI inIlation can cause the Iollowing economic impediments:
The value oI investments are destroyed over time.
O lL ls economlcally dlsasLrous for lenders
O ArblLrary governmenLal conLrol of Lhe economy Lo conLrol lnflaLlon can resLraln economlc

O nonunlform lnflaLlon can lead Lo heavy compeLlLlon ln Lhe global markeL and LhreaLen Lhe
exlsLence of small economles
O Plgh levels of lnflaLlon Lend Lo lead Lo economlc sLagnaLlon
Measures to Control Inflation
The central banks, monetary authorities or Iinance ministries oI most nations have the
authority to take economic measures to control rising inIlation by regulating the Iollowing
Iactors:
Reducing the central bank interest rates and increasing bank interest rates.
O 8egulaLlng flxed exchange raLes of Lhe domesLlc currency
O ConLrolllng prlces and wages
O rovldlng cosL of llvlng allowance Lo clLlzens ln order Lo creaLe demand ln Lhe markeL
DiIIerent schools oI thought emphasize diIIerent Iactors as the root cause oI inIlation.
However, there is a consensus on theview that economic inIlation is caused either by an
increase in the money supply or a decrease in the quantity oI goods being supplied, and that
the eIIects oI either high inIlation or deIlation are extremely damaging to the economy.

Inflation is a condition, wben cost of services coupled witb goods rise and
tbe entire economy seems to go baywire. Inflation bas never done good to
tbe economy. However, wbenever tbere is expected inflation, governments
around tbe world take appropriate steps to minimize tbe ill effects of
inflation to a certain extent. Inflation and economic growtb are parallel
lines and can never meet. Inflation reduces tbe value of money and makes it
difficult for tbe common people. Inflation and economic growtb are
incompatible because tbe former affects all sectors as indicated by:
O CPI oi Consumei Piice Inuex
A rise in tbe CPI indicates inflation. Tbe CPI or tbe consumer price
index is used as an index for salaries, wages, contracted prices,
pensions. Tbis is done to ad|ust witb tbe inflation effects. It is an
important economic indicator.
O P oi ioss omestic Piouuct
Tbe gross domestic product is anotber important economic indicator
and is usually inflation ad|usted. Tbis is an important tool for
measuring tbe rate of inflation.

Tbe important segments, wbicb are bampered include:
Investment
Interest rates
Excbange rates
Unemployment
Stocks
Various monetary policies
Various fiscal policies

FDI in retail will belp control inflation: Columbia paper

Chlna permlLLed lul ln reLall ln 1992 lL has slnce aLLracLed huge lnvesLmenLs ln Lhe reLall secLor
wlLhouL affecLlng elLher small reLallers or domesLlc reLall chalns

A study released by the prestigious olumbia University has claimed that Ioreign direct
investment (FDI) in retail will help contain inIlation and transIorm the way perishable items
in agricultural sector is acquired.

"It (FDI in retail sector) will transIorm the way perishable agricultural produce is acquired,
stored, preserved, and marketed -- and thus help control India's persistent Iood inIlation,"
Nandita Dasgupta, who teaches economics at the University oI Maryland, wrote in olumbia
FDI Perspective, released on Monday.

"Favourable experiences oI other emerging markets suggest that the appropriate
implementation oI FDI in multi-brand Iood retailing, with eIIective checks designed to
protect indigenous small and medium-size enterprises, will eventually alleviate the supply-
side impediments to agricultural production," the author said.

Dasgupta argues that iI eIIectively implemented, FDI in retail sector has the potential to bring
in Ioreign capital, technology and managerial expertise oI big international retailers; and
develop an eIIicient linkage between the back-end supply chain and the Iront-end via capital
investment and technological inputs.

In an apparent response to those who claim that FDI in multi-brand retailing would kill the
small scale sector and badly aIIect the agricultural sector, Dasgupta argues that the
experiences oI some oI the other developing countries indicate to the other direction.

"It is important to remember that other countries like Argentina, Brazil, hile, hina,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, and Thailand have allowed 100 per cent FDI in
multi-brand retail since the 90s and many oI them have had encouraging experiences," she
said.

hina, Ior one, permitted FDI in retail as early as 1992.

It has since attracted huge investments in the retail sector without aIIecting either small
retailers or domestic retail chains.

Since 2004, the number oI small outlets rose Irom 1.9 million to over 2.5 million in hina,
she claimed.

"Employment in the retail and wholesale sectors increased Irom 28 million to 54 million Irom
1992 to 2001. In Indonesia, even aIter ten years oI opening FDI in multi-brand retail, 90 per
cent oI the business remains with small traders," the Indian American economist argues in her
paper 'FDI in retailing and inIlation: The case oI India'.

AIter coming under attacked by the Opposition, which paralysed the Parliament Ior nearly
two weeks, ongress led UPA government on Monday said that Iinal decision on the FDI
issue will be taken only aIter consulting all stakeholders.

@he Ind|an economy expanded at |ts s|owest pace |n more than two years |n the Iu|ySeptember
uarter hurt by h|gh |oca| borrow|ng costs and a deepen|ng eurozone cr|s|s
Gross domestic product grew 6.9 Irom a year earlier, the government said Wednesday. The
economy had expanded 7.8 in the January-March quarter.

The mining sector contracted 2.9 percent year-on-year, Iollowing 1.8 percent growth in the
preceding quarter. The growth in manuIacturing output eased sharply to 2.7 percent Irom 7.2
percent in the previous three months.

Farm output rose 3.2 percent Ior the same period, down Irom the previous quarter's 3.9 per
cent growth. Economic activities relating to electricity, gas and water supply increased 9.8
percent, while the construction sector grew at an improved rate oI 4.3 percent.

Investment climbed 30.5 percent Irom a year earlier, while consumer spending grew at a
weaker pace oI 59.5 percent. Government spending rose 10.7 percent, almost steady
compared to the prior quarter.

Aggressive rate increases by the Reserve Bank oI India over the past 20 months to cool
inIlation have crimped industrial expansion, adding to pressure Irom a gloomy global
economy that has hurt demand Ior exports.

The slow pace oI economic reIorm and a series oI graIt charges against the government have

Inflation & how it eats your money
silently & affects your investments!
InIlation, is an economic concept. What the cause oI inIlation is, is not important to us Irom
the point oI view oI this article. What is important to us is the eIIect oI inIlation! The eIIect oI
inIlation is the prices oI everything going up over the years.
A movie ticket was Ior a Iew paise in my dad`s time. Now it is worth Rs.50. My dads Iirst
salary Ior the month was Rs.400 and over he years it has now become Rs.75,000. This is
what inIlation is, the price oI everything goes up. Because the price goes up, the salaries go
up.

II you really thing about it, inIlation makes the worth oI money reduce. What you could buy
in my dad`s time Ior Rs.10, now a days you will not be able to buy Ior Rs.400 also. The
worth oI money has reduced! II this is still not clear consider this, when my Iather was a kid,
he used to get 50paise pocket money. He used to use this money to go and watch a movie (At
that time you could watch a movie Ior 50paise!)

Now, just Ior the sake oI understanding assume that my dad decided in his childhood to save
50paise thinking, that one day when he becomes big, he will go Ior a movie. Many years
pass. The year now is 2006. My dad goes to the theater and asks Ior a ticket. He oIIers the
ticket-booth-guy at the theater 50paise and asks Ior a ticket. The ticket booth guy says, 'I am
sorry sir, the ticket is worth Rs.50. You will not be able to even buy a 'paan with the
50paise!!

The moral oI the story is that, the worth oI the 50paise reduced dramatically. 50paise could
buy a whole lot when my dad was a kid. Now, 50paise can buy nothing. This is inIlation.
This tells us two important things.

Firstly: Do not keep your money stagnant. II you just save money by putting it your saIe it
will loose value over time. II you have Rs.1000 in your saIe today and you keep it there Ior
10years or so, it will be worth a lot less aIter 10 years. II you can buy something Ior Rs.1000
today, you will probably require Rs.1500 to buy it 10 years Irom now. So do not keep money
locked up in your saIe.
Always invest money.
II you can`t think where to invest your money, then put it in a bank. Let it grow by gaining
interest. But whatever you do, do not just lock your money up in your saIe and keep it
stagnant. II you do this, you will be loosing money without even knowing it. The more
money you keep stagnant the more money you will be loosing.

Secondly: When investing, you have to make sure that the rate oI return on your investment
is higher than the rate oI inIlation.

Wbat is tbe rate of inflation?
As we said earlier, the prices oI everything goes up over time and this phenomenon is called
inIlation. The question is: By how much do the prices go up? At what rate do the prices do
up?

The rate at which the prices oI everything go up is called the "rate oI inIlation". For example,
iI the price oI something is Rs.100 this year and next year the price becomes approximately
Rs.104 then the rate oI inIlation is 4. II the price oI something is Rs.80 then aIter a year
with a rate oI inIlation oI 4 the price go up to (80 x 1.04) 83.2

So, when you make an investment, make sure that your rate oI return on the investment is
higher than the rate oI inIlation in your country. In our county India, Ior the year 2005-2006
the rate oI inIlation was 4 (Which is really low and amazing!). This rate keeps changing
every year. The Iinance minister generally gives the oIIicial statement on the inIlation rate oI
the country Ior a particular year.

Wbat is tbe rate of return?
The rate oI return is how much you make on an investment. Suppose you invest Rs.100 in the
market and over a year, you make Rs.120, then you rate oI return is 20.

II you invest Rs.100 in the market today and you make money at a 3 "rate oI return" in one
year you will have Rs.103. But now, since the rate oI inIlation is at 4, an item costing
Rs.100 today will cost Rs.104 a year Irom now. So what you can buy with today`s Rs.100,
you will only be able to buy with Rs.104 a year Irom now.

But the Rs.100 that you invested has grown only at a 3 rate oI return and so it is worth
Rs.103. In eIIect, you are loosing money!

So in conclusion, the rate oI return on your investments, have to be higher than the rate oI
inIlation.

From the above paragraphs you can note how silently, inIlation eats into your money. You
would not even know about it an your money would sit loosing value Ior no Iault oI yours.
But inIlation is not the only thing you should be considering, there are other things too that
eat into you money. The Iirst thing is 'brokerage and the second thing is 'taxation.
