Inflation targeting to remain work in progress till food prices fall: RBI

THE Reserve Bank on Wednesday in its monthly bulletin said the goal of aligning inflation with the target of 4% will remain a work in progress as long as food prices pressure persists.

After the monetary policy committee was set up, the central bank had set an inflation target of 4%, with a leeway of 2 percentage points on either side. This will be up for review in September 2025.

The article further said though many central banks have pivoted towards a less restrictive monetary policy stance in response to the fall in inflation in their economies, back home inflation still remains above the targeted level mostly because of the food prices.
