The Reserve Bank of India Central Board of Directors on Friday deliberated on the prevailing economic conditions and associated challenges and evaluated the potential risks to the economic outlook.

In this regard, it is worth noting that the latest Monetary Policy Report underscored that while India’s macroeconomic outlook remains resilient, it remains vulnerable to geopolitical developments, volatility in global energy markets, and weather-related uncertainties.

Domestic Risks

“Weak monsoons coupled with strong El Niño, protracted geopolitical tensions, rising international commodity prices, additional frictions in global trade and tightening of global financial conditions could adversely impact the growth outlook.

“Persistent supply-side pressures in food and volatile global energy prices pose risks to the domestic inflation outlook, particularly through second-round effects amid strong growth impulses,” the report said.

The Central Board, under the Chairmanship of Governor Sanjay Malhotra, also reviewed the activities of the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation and select Central Office Departments of the Bank.
