Inflation: Myths, Realities and a Policy Agenda
V Shunmugam
Debojyoti Dey |
A front-pa ge news
item on July 8 in a
prominent business daily
said it all: Maverick
chef Sanjeev Kapoor is
reportedly cooking up
recipes and modifying existing
ones in his repertoire – to fight
the food price inflation battle in
the kitchen. Indeed, the current
runaway inflation in India, while
not historically unprecedented, is
definitely unusual on at least two
counts: one, despite the government
trying all ammunitions up its sleeve,
high inflation has been ruling the
roost continuously for more than
two years now. Second, the current
persistent inflation is ironically
coinciding with the greatest global
recession and its (hopeful) recovery
since the Great Depression; in other
words, while most countries are
looking to control deflation, India
seeks to do just the opposite - reign
in inflation.
What does not cause inflation
What explains the current runaway inflation? Reasons are galore – from drought-induced
food grains supply shortage to
increasing money supply and
rising international prices of most
commodities, spilling over to
consumer prices. As is apparent
and well-publicized, it is indeed a
combination of all these factors that
is contributing to inflation currently.
We look at some of these factors
in the next two sections. |
