However we face Significant Challenges However we face Significant Challenges

• Global developments: Developments in EU-Greece highlight the fact that global conditions will remain volatile for some time; excessive dependence on foreign capital inflows is not recommended for India

• Exchange rate: Currency fluctuations being driven by external conditions will have an impact on the real sector; important role for RBI in preventing excessive volatility

• Trade prospects: Improving with stabilisation in the global economy but growth in developed economies will remain weak in the near term; need to diversify markets

• Inflation: urgent need to get inflation under control; monetary policy cannot be the only instrument when the drivers food, fuel and commodities.
