Economic Round-Up
• Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan surprised markets in his maiden policy review on Friday by
raising interest rates to ward off rising inflation, while scaling back some of the emergency measures recently put in
place to support the ailing rupee. Rajan, who took office early this month amid worst economic crisis since 1991,
increased the RBI's policy repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 7.50 percent, defying most forecasts that he would leave
the rate on hold to bolster a sluggish economy. Rajan said on Friday he wants the repo rate to resume its place as the
operational policy rate as temporary rupee support measures are unwound, returning the gap between the repo rate and
the MSF rate to its customary 100 basis points.
• The Fed this week unexpectedly refrained from reducing its $85 billion in monthly asset purchases, saying it needs to
see more signs of sustained labor market gains. Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said Sept. 18 the central bank would
decide on whether to taper purchases based on what’s needed for the economy. The Fed will be able to weigh the
September jobs report and revisions of prior months as well as updated housing reports at its Oct. 29-30 meeting,
Bullard said in New York. “This was a very close call so maybe the information would come in a way that would change
the complexion” of the outlook, he said.
• Argentina’s economy expanded at the fastest pace in about two years last quarter, boosting the chances that holders of
securities linked to the country’s growth will be paid as much as $3 billion next year. Gross domestic product expanded
8.3 percent from a year earlier, according to a report released today by the national statistics institute. The International
Monetary Fund in February censured Argentina for failing to report accurate data on inflation and GDP. Opposition
lawmakers publish a monthly inflation report that shows consumer prices rising at more than double the 10.5 percent
rate reported by the government.
