The spectre of high inflation and a possible slowdown in the economy continue to weigh heavy on the government’s mind. The recently set up Financial Stability and Development Council is expected to discuss the issue in its next meeting.
The FSDC, which consists of the four financial sector regulators and is chaired by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, is scheduled to meet on July 27, a day after the central bank RBI presents the first quarterly review of the monetary policy.
