A Comment on rate cuts and economy

My Comment on an article " Market indecisive? Top eight sectors where you can scour for value bets" published in the economictimes.com Dated 01/10/2015


"To speak the truth, there is really no honey in this money play. 

Rate cuts are only elusive when think about the way inflation has been growing each year. The real inflation pictures are not depicted in the charts. 

Our common man can know better what all this means. The growth in income by way of returns for produce or through salaries or wages is nominal when compared to real inflation in cost of living. So the consumer actually receives no benefit as he has to pay always extra from his pockets."

A Comment on an accusation of RBI governor Raghuram Rajan's policy by critics

My Comment on an article "Biggest threat to Modi govt's "achche din" is RBI governor Raghuram Rajan" published in the economictimes.com Dated 21/08/2015 at 10:40 pm.  


"I do not agree with this author's endorsement for a 50bps rate cut nor accept the charges levelled by him on Raghuram Rajan. 

Just like he is terming Rajan as hawkish and ill informed about realities, we can term this writer also as partial in his outlook and biased in his views. 

I don't think, a rate cut will solve the problem. Rate cut can, on the other hand, lead to more funds in the hands of public and thereby inflation also. Simply implementing rate cut can't lower the burden on housing sector. Construction material should also be available at lower prices. 

Governments should impose more strict adherence for passing on of benefits of all social reforms to the common man instead of getting stuck up in the hands of middlemen." 

A Comment on reports that Inflation is at multi-year lows

My Comment on an article "Inflation at multi-year lows but RBI's Rajan didn't cut rates" published in the economictimes.com Dated 02/12/2014 at 3:20 pm.


"It is silly to say inflation has reduced. Where is the decrease in food grains, pulses and dairy products? 

Short period reduction in vegetables and fuel prices can't be termed as decrease in inflation. 

Real fall in inflation should result in decreased food cost, rents and transportation, etc. Then only can you tag it as fall in inflation."

A Comment on RBI Governor not cutting rates

	Your comment on the article ''RBI keeps interest rate unchanged, maintains status quo'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com Dated 2/12/2014 at 1:30 pm.
	''Very wise decision by RBI Governor. He is bold enough to tackle the situation without bowing to rate cuts and controls. He wants the open markets and government policies to control the situations rather than adapting to rate cuts.''
	Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
