Naina Lal Kidwai, CEO, HSBC India said, “The good news is that the monsoon is good and the production is up. With these improving there's a chance that inflation won’t go up further. But it is still too early to comment."

 

Sanjay Nayyar, CEO, Citibank said that, with the rising inflation, growth may be hurt. He says more steps need to be taken for a significant easing in inflation and pushing growth momentum higher.

Nayyar said, “I think we've settled down to 7.5 - 7.75% range which is pretty good, but obviously one notch lower than where we were. Many reasons - food prices, oil; our own second order reforms in financial sector and bond markets - there's lot more that can be done to get our selves to be self financed and not depend on foreign flows.”
