Very low inflation for a long time bad for growth, a 50 bps cut would have been better: Kaushik Basu - News Summed Up

Very low inflation for a long time bad for growth, a 50 bps cut would have been better: Kaushik Basu


The rich industrialised countries -- especially Europe - are going through a slowdown which again creates a scope for India to come up. Having said that, my view is India's inflation worry is not a serious worry at this stage. Its growth is slowing down, its investment needs to pick up, people should feel free to borrow money and invest in infrastructure, make long-term investments. If I were casting a vote, I would have gone for a 50 bps cut at this point. India needs to push back investment, infrastructural investment, long term investment because these things feed into growth.
