I don't believe that is the result of excess liquidity though clearly when inflation begins to go up, I mean, one of the instruments that people use is the monetary instrument. So I don't want to speculate, I think to come to a conclusion because we have a problem with one set of prices, what is the ideal way of responding, that is a complex issue,

The year after that, the last year of the 11th Plan, we should be able to go beyond 8. The PM has said that we would like to be able to end the Eleventh Plan back at 9%,

But none of the reforms we are talking about lend themselves to create systemic instability that led to the crisis. It would be a great mistake to stop financial reforms… a lot remains to be done,

economictimes 12-OCT-09

expressindia 12-OCT-09

[-said]: Existing programme evaluation done at the ministry level as well as the Commission’s Programme Evaluation Office needs to be strengthened. The technique of evaluation doesn’t necessarily lend itself to (help) solve the problem. In my experience, the weakest link in the evaluation process is the inferences and recommendations. Most recommendations are based on insufficient knowledge and it’s best to go back to the drawing board and let domain experts suggest changes,

expressindia 12-OCT-09

financialexpress 24-JUN-09

economictimes 23-JUN-09

[-said]: What we want to do at present is advance investment as much as possible so we can do more this year and may be next year, and then as economy recovers, we can do less. The idea is to anticipate the investment that otherwise would have taken place a bit later,

financialexpress 22-JUN-09

[-was respond]: there are some (banks) who still argue for rapid capital account liberalisation without any restriction. We are not in favour of that. But to say that all the banking reforms should come to a halt will be a very narrow blinkered view.
