by G A on Apr 05, 2008 12:52 PM  Permalink 

Pawar - Price of wheat going up because south indians are eating more chappatis
Kamal Nath - Prices going up since poor are now eating 2 meals a day so demand has shot up
PM and FM - Agriculture in trouble because of NDA 4 years back, also inflation is imported, nothing can be done, these 2 gentlemen have no role to play in anything except ofcourse devise new ways to increase taxes on aam admi
Pawar - Wheat is cheapest in India compared to world prices
Sonia - Unheard, disappeared from the scene

Finally, we are to blame, we either go and elect them or donot go out to elect anyone !!

There are various reasons to see our inflation @ staggering high of 7.07
by surya das on Apr 05, 2008 11:23 AM  Permalink 

Believe the staggering high of inflation in India is not only because of our internal price hike in various commodities but also commodities rate hike in world market as well.

Here, is the proper analysis:

If you see our internal price measurement index,shows that on minerals there is an increase of 34% in the year of 2008 alone. Increase price of cooking oil in world market gone up by 17% in 3rd QTR of 2007 to till now and as per your knowledge we are the 2nd major importer after China of cooking oil from Malysia. Huge price flactuation on Gold,and Crude oil could damage the further centiment of our middle class economy. At the end it lead the inflation up by 7.07% in 1st QTR of 2008. It is not only in India, other major growing economy also facing the similar problem like in China, the inflation rate is above 10%, so as in Brazil & Mexico.

Here are the few immediate solutions need to be follow:
1. If we want to curve down the inflation, then we need to control the price index of India and that could only happen to export less rice and wheat to maintain a balance in our domestic demand.

2. RBI need to appreciate the rupee valuation against USD and EURO so that we can pay less money while we import these cooking oil and crude oil from world market. Thailand(World's largest rice exporter)& Indonesia(3rd largest) already taken these steps to appreciate their local currencies.
3.RBI should further cut down the interest rate,though bank's are facing the tough time.

Nobody their to blame? Congress and CP thinks!!
by Ravan Raj on Apr 05, 2008 10:43 AM  Permalink 

Last time while inflation increases our FM and Cngress blamed futures trading and black marketing of big food corporates for the situation.Now what they are going to tell. Inflation in india is also a part of world's present ecnomic condition.
but how UPA govt is going manage it is important. either professionaly or simply blaming others like communist way.

This from a middle class person's point of view(leaves in Mumbai):

1 yr before Rs. 6000 were enough for four members family to maintain a good STD when sal. sal was around 9000/month

Now Rs.7500 needs to maintain that same good STD & sal. is 10500/month

how inflation can be called 7 percent only???

Inflation is based on Wholesale price and not retail price.

It also depends on weightage.

For example agri commodities are given only 3% weightage. Whereas Steel, Cement and Oil are given more weightage.

Mr. Y. Singh, Inflation is not created by Harvard grad, PC. Its true his right time vision could tame it but with the growth india is growing, inflation is invited. Its us who are going buoyant with such liquidity in market. The companies know that people have got money and they are going to spend and on other side less supply of goods have increased its demand. and this a lower middle man is getting affected. RBI has continuously taking measures to check it but the kind of growth India has seen in last 4-5 years , it will take time to tame the reverse its adverse reaction i.e. inflation. Today people are keen to take loan doesnt matter on what rate. Even increasing the interest rate are not helping. We need to spend with caution in this time and save money so that spending goes less and demand and supply gets equal.

I do not argue on your points as you're absolutely right on about what you said. Nevertheless, did you notice that in the budget, there's a distribution profile of Rs 120K Crores? This money can not be offset without the printing press working overtime. Not only that, he has made further provisions of loans (which apparently will not be repaid). Who'll pay this money - will it come from the same dhoti or will it be an additional load on our taxpayers? Just get practical. The banks have to balance their books anyway. He wants to charge STT on the commodity markets and other probable derivatives (may be forex, treasuries, CFDs, warrants - whatever etc). The derivatives market doesn't have enough liquidity and if our ?Harvard guy wants to kill it at the budding stage itself with higher taxes (where he's hoping to generate huge revenue), what's the big idea behind it?

What you said is unarguably true. If the situation is like this, do you think we should resort to the measures that'll generate further kind of gyrating inflationary pressures?

Buying dollars with rupees
by Sameer on Apr 04, 2008 07:19 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Sonia and Manmohan gang have been forcing Indian banks to support dollar by buying dollar. As everyone with elementary knowledge know that American fed is printing dollars like Monopoly game money. Thus supporting dollar is the stupidest idea. India is importing inflation by not letting rupee appreciate against dollar. Dollar is becoming a virus in the world financial system because these people keep printing dollars and most of the commodities are traded in dollars. America is killing dollar by its actions and any currency that is artificially pegged to dollar is bound to suffer and its value would go down.
India should diversify its foreign reserves urgently and should also buy gold.

your other points are understandable and probably valid, but why did you suggest buying gold. As its we do not have our basic requirements for most of the people. Should we eat cake, if there is no bread?

Be responsible
by Welcome on Apr 04, 2008 05:22 PM  Permalink 

Inflation is the effect of reverse remittance / investments. The only way to compensate this is by increasing consumption without borrowing. There is lot of money held with private individuals and govt. should make sure that it creates a favorable climate for the private individuals to spend and invest the money without any fear.
