  • India's new central bank governor has marked his first 100 days in office with a growth-friendly approach to monetary policy, suggesting he'll be willing to cut interest rates further and keep liquidity flush as the economy braces for trade turmoil.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the recent appointment of Ajay Malhotra as the new Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which has sparked optimism in the financial markets regarding potential rate cuts. Malhotra, known for his growth-friendly policies, has hinted at a more accommodative monetary policy stance to support economic recovery post the global health crisis. His appointment comes at a time when India's economy is showing signs of recovery but still requires stimulus to boost growth. Market analysts and investors are hopeful that under Malhotra's leadership, the RBI might lower interest rates to encourage borrowing, investment, and consumption. This expectation is based on his previous comments and actions favoring economic expansion over stringent inflation control. However, the article also notes that any rate cut decisions would be data-driven, considering factors like inflation rates, global economic conditions, and domestic economic indicators.
