Summary: | Maintaining a reasonable degree of price stability while ensuring an adequate expansion of credit to assist economic growth have been the primary goals of monetary policy in India (Rangarajan, 1998). The concern with inflation emanates not only from the need to maintain overall macroeconomic stability, but also from the fact that inflation hits the poor particularly hard as they do not possess effective inflation hedges. Prime Minister Vajpayee recently stated that "inflation is the single biggest enemy of the poor." Consequently, maintaining low inflation is seen as a necessary part of an effective anti-poverty strategy
