Use of food inflation in setting rate flawed; RBI should slash it: Goyal

Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday said the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) should cut interest rates and give an impetus to growth. Using food inflation, which restricted the RBI from any rate action for two years in the rate setting is a "flawed theory", the Chartered Accountant-turned-politician said at an event hosted by CNBC TV18. "I certainly believe they should cut interest rates, growth needs a further impetus. We are the fastest growing economy in the world, we can do even better," Goyal said. Speaking at the same event later, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das declined to comment on the senior minister's suggestion, saying that the six-member rate setting panel will take the appropriate call at its next meeting scheduled in December first week.
