The Unassuming Economist

From a paper by Radhika Pandey, Ila Patnaik and Rajeswari Sengupta:

“It has been eight years since India adopted the inflation targeting (IT) framework for its monetary
policy. In this paper we present a comprehensive analysis of the IT regime, addressing several critical
aspects. We evaluate the performance of inflation over this period, and review the conduct of monetary
policy during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. We also identify key challenges that persist particularly
in context of the Impossible Trilemma and highlight issues that may require further examination in
order to improve the effectiveness of the IT framework in the future.”
