Raghuram Rajan Calls for US Fed to Raise Interest Rates Amid Persistent Inflation
Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan urged the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates more aggressively to address persistent inflation. Speaking at the Jackson Hole conference, he highlighted strong US economic factors such as robust data-centre investment, high government spending, and resilient consumer demand that keep financial conditions accommodative. Rajan suggested current monetary policy is insufficiently restrictive, with markets closely watching Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's upcoming speech for future policy direction. He also noted the rupee's relative stability amid these dynamics.
