Macroeconomic and Monetary Developments in 2005-06
-Announced on the 17th April 2006
Price Situation
Headline inflation firmed up in a number of economies during 2005-06 on account of international crude oil prices reaching a record high and remaining at elevated levels. Accordingly, many central banks tightened monetary policy during 2005-06 in order to contain inflation and inflationary expectations, especially in view of the fact that a significant part of the increase in international crude oil prices is increasingly viewed as somewhat permanent.
In India, headline inflation and inflation expectations remained well-contained during 2005-06, despite continued dominance of supply-side factors. Fiscal and monetary measures undertaken since mid-2004 to reduce the impact of imported price pressures on domestic inflation and to stabilise inflationary expectations were successful in containing inflation towards the desired trajectory during 2005-06.
In India, year-on-year wholesale price inflation was 3.5 per cent on April 1, 2006 as compared with 5.7 per cent a year ago.
