MoSPI secy says it’s not appropriate to assess weights’ effect on inflation volatility

- KULDEEP SINGH

PUSHING BACK ON the claims that the reduced weight of food and beverages in the new consumer price index (CPI) series would diminish the headline inflation during food price spikes, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) Secretary Saurabh Garg has said it would not be appropriate to make such an assessment.

Little cost benefit for REITs, only funding options grow

WHILE THE RESERVE Bank of India's (RBI) move to allow banks to lend directly REITs (real estate investment trusts) will widen their borrowing options, it is unlikely to reduce cost of debt in a big way, as the difference of rates between bonds/commercial papers and bank credit is merely 10-15 basis points (bps).
