RBI Monetary Policy – Quote by Harsh Dugar – Executive Director, Federal Bank

Mr. Harsh Dugar

The MPC announcement of maintaining the policy Repo rate, Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) and Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) at existing level was on expected lines and also to remain focused on withdrawal of accommodation for inflation targeting.

Domestic economic activity remains strong and resilient with agriculture activity holding up, industrial activity gaining momentum and services sector showing robust expansion. This has resulted in pickup in private corporate investment and also aided by government thrust in public sector capital investment and capacity enhancement. This would aid growth in credit demand in the forthcoming years with both increase in level of activity for working capital and term loans for capex funding.

Apart from other announcements the introduction of Key Fact Statement (KFS) for MSME borrowers would go a long way in ensuring transparency, simplicity and uniformity.

“MSME is the largest sector to offer employment in India. However, it has suffered a tremendous loss due to global pandemic. To come out of the disastrous situation we are taking steps via our flagship programme ‘Aatma Nirbhar Bharat’ that will introspect and uplift homegrown brands. We are working on the revival of every sphere to bring the economy back on track. Currently, our core attention is MSMEs and Agricultural activities and we will offer Rs 3 lakh crore as collateral-free or unsecured loan to MSMEs with an annual turnover of Rs 100 crore or an outstanding loan of Rs 25 crore. Further, loans of Rs 20,000 crore will be given to stressed MSMEs. It will help resume businesses, reduce dependence on other countries and strengthen the supply chain.” Shri Pratap Chandra Sarangi, Hon’Minister of State – Government of India – Dairy, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and MSME

He further adds “Additionally, to ensure the monthly income of Rs 50000 for each household we have been encouraging Integrated farming in the rural region. We are also focussing on women in rural areas and encouraging them to form clusters to operate solar charkha which will cover employment and earnings.”

“Aatma Nirbhar Bharat is the vision of our honourable Prime Minister towards making India a self-reliant nation and the Time2Leap Awards is an initiative that is in line with this towards recognising the efforts of our industry and encouraging them further. I believe the fundamental concept of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat goes back to Bapu’s time wherein he tells us that we should work in such a way that it benefits even the poorest in the country and society
