The RBI was set up to conduct monetary policy, manage public debt and foreign exchange reserves, act as the government’s banker, and support the development of markets and financial institutions. This chapter reviews how the institution has fared on these various dimensions. It begins by examining the appointment process for the Governor and the monetary policy committee. Next, it assesses the importance of an independent debt management agency and consistency between debt management and monetary policy. The connection between monetary policy and macroprudential policy is discussed next. Large foreign exchange reserves may be viewed by government at some time as a source for a national investment fund. This requires the RBI to engage with government and to define the objective of reserves management. The RBI’s actions to improve the resilience of financial markets and its involvement with social and distributional goals of directing credit towards priority activities are also evaluated.

<div><div><div><p>This study is an attempt to evaluate and interpret the monetary policy statements (MPS) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for the five year period since it started conducting monetary policy meetings every alter- nate month. An important contribution of this paper is the evaluation of the inflation forecasting path of the RBI using information from the state- ments. Both qualitative and quantitative methodology has been adopted to study and evaluate the MPS. It helps in understanding processes fol- lowed and information considered while making inflation forecasts. The results clearly indicate that though the RBI examined the high frequency economic indicators in their process of assessment and inflation forecast- ing, their inflation forecasts have been below the mark. Similarly, the monetary policy committee (MPC) could not predict the sharp disinfla- tion following demonetization on 8th November, 2016 resulting in higher real interest rate regime. This shows that the monetary policy governance under the new monetary policy framework of the RBI needs to be revisited to align it with the economic reality of India.</p></div></div></div>

The article deals with the concept of gold and foreign exchange reserves and the role they play in the present-day economy. Recently the stock of foreign exchange reserves accumulated across the world has grown substantially. In many cases it was connected with the functions they play in the current monetary policy. Possibilities to use such reserves to counter balance of payments shocks or for achieving export-oriented growth make them an important macroeconomic stability tool.
