Raghuram Rajan Calls for US Federal Reserve Rate Hike to Curb Inflation
Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has urged the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates more aggressively to address persistent inflation. Speaking at the Jackson Hole conference, he noted that strong investment, high government spending, and resilient consumer demand are keeping the US economy robust, limiting the impact of current monetary tightening. Rajan also commented that financial conditions remain accommodative and that the rupee has held up better than expected. Markets await Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech for further policy guidance.
