1. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday called for further tightening of monetary policy in India to anchor expectations as inflation is expected to pick on.2.The fund maintained India’s growth projection at 7.3% for 2018-19. “Monetary policy should be tightened to re-anchor expectations where inflation continues to be high (as recently done in Argentina), where it is increasing further in the wake of a sharp currency depreciate (Turkey), or where it is expected to pick up (India),” the IMF said in its bi-annual World Economic Outlook report.3. After two successive rate hikes, the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) monetary policy committee (MPC) keeps key policy rates unchanged on Friday, citing a benign inflation trajectory and downward revision to inflation projections. 4. The IMF kept India’s growth forecast unchanged at 7.3% for 2018-19 from 6.7% in 2017-18.
