Centre names economists to monetary
policy committee
The Centre on Thursday named three academics trained in economics as the
external appointees on the monetary policy committee (MPC) that will work with
the Reserve Bank of India’s three members to decide interest rates. The RBI is
represented on the MPC by Governor Urjit Patel, Deputy Governor in-charge of
monetary policy R. Gandhi, and M.D. Patra, the executive director who was
nominated by the RBI board.
The three external members — Pami Dua, Chetan Ghate and Ravindra Dholakia
— will have a fixed four year term, which is non-renewable.
The RBI will set interest rates according to the majority view of the six-member
MPC, with the Governor having the casting vote in case of a tie.
October review
Not clear ifpanel would set interest rates at RBI’s Oct. 4 policy
statement
While the Centre did not specify if the newly constituted monetary panel will
decide interest rates at the RBI’s next policy review, scheduled for October 4,
analysts speculated that the MPC may start work straightaway.
“The appointment of the new MPC may have implications for monetary policy,”
Nomura economists Sonal Verma and Neha Saraf wrote in a note to clients. “The
coming October 4 monetary policy meeting could now be MPC based, although
this is not yet confirmed and could be a challenge because of very few days left
before the next policy meeting,” they wrote.
The MPC will be responsible for ensuring inflation based on the Consumer Price
Index is contained within a range of 2 per cent to 6 per cent, a target announced
as part of the new monetary policy framework agreed to by the Centre and the
RBI.
Previously, decisions were taken by the RBI Governor. The move to inflation
targeting and committee based rate-setting were part of changes recommended by
former Governor Raghuram Rajan and then Deputy Governor Dr. Patel.
The three new external members of the MPC are low-key academics, who are
expected to help provide independent external economic inputs for policy
formulation.

Pami Dua is the Director of the Delhi School of Economics. Her research work
spreads across different fields like business cycle analysis, macroeconomics,
econometrics, and forecasting.

investment flows to India, modelling and forecasting the rupee-dollar exchange
rate.
Chetan Ghate
Chetan Ghate is the only member of the Technical Advisory Committee on
Monetary Policy who becomes a member of the MPC, and is therefore familiar
with the RBI’s policy making process. (The TAC, which had an advisory role, will
cease to exit after the MPC becomes operational). He was also a member of the
committee that was set up by Dr. Rajan to review and strengthen the monetary
policy framework. The committee was headed by Dr. Patel.
Dr. Ghate, who is a professor at the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi, is a
macroeconomist with a research focus on economic growth, fluctuations,
economic development, and monetary and fiscal policy in developing and
