Policy approach

RBI is acting selectively and with care

- 

Over the years, large central banks have worked on improving communications to avoid any misunderstanding or misinterpretation of policy by financial markets. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is no exception.

In the context of monetary policy, besides the governor's policy statement and the resolution of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the deliberation and decision of the committee are explained at length in the media conference by the top leadership of the central bank, led by the governor.

Besides this, top officials also present the central bank's position on various issues in their speeches and other public appearances. One such event in the Indian financial sector's calendar is the Business Standard BFSI Insight Summit.

In the inaugural session of this year's edition on Wednesday, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das spoke on various issues, which helped shape the financial markets' understanding of the central bank's position.
