14. Conclusion
MP is management of expectation.
"India’s growth story at least in the short run depends
critically on inflation. There is a felt need that, if to bring down
inflation, growth in the short run needs to be compromised then
we should do that. It is important therefore to bring down
inflation as quickly as possible and with as little damage to the
growth and employment story as possible.“
