“The will of the people is not adequately reflected in macroeconomic choices made by Indian governments” – Jayati Ghosh
No full textThe debate over the state and future of the Indian economy has been rife over the last couple of years but increasingly there is a sense that the time to determine the course of its future is now or never. The current government was arguably elected on the mandate of economic reforms and development but the two most decisive steps have been taken by the Reserve Bank of India, led by Governor Raghuram Rajan. Earlier this year a new monetary policy framework that for the first time sets the agenda of the central bank as inflation targeting (CPI 4% with a band of +/-2% from financial year ending in March 2017), came into place and in September this year a surprise rate cut of 50 bps was announced, that added considerably to the 75 bps cut made gradually over the course of the 2015. In this context, Pragya Tiwari spoke to Jayati Ghosh about the potential of this rate cut and about the role of monetary policy in the current state of the Indian economy. In the second part of this two-part interview they discuss savings, transmission and the need for greater public spending

Trumpanomics and the developing world
No full textDonald Trump became President of the US on a wave of populism and old style nationalism, promising to make “America great again.” While there is much confusion in Washington about his policies on just about everything, the one recurring theme in his statements and speeches is to take America to an age of splendid isolation. Jayati Ghosh looks at how this will affect developing countries, some of whom have at times benefited from exports to the US. While there is much in her analysis that is gloomy, she sees a silver lining if developing countries explore some creative alternatives to the shifting sands in global trade and investment
