Outgoing Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das on Tuesday said the co-ordination between the government and the RBI was “at its best” in the last six years.
“The fiscal-monetary coordination was at its best and helped us to deal with the multiple challenges during the last six years,” Das said on social media platform X.
Thanking his colleagues at the RBI, Das said, “together, we successfully navigated an exceptionally difficult period of unprecedented global shocks. May the RBI grow even taller as an institution of trust and credibility. My best wishes to each one of you.”
“Immensely grateful to the PM @narendramodi for giving me this opportunity to serve the country as the Governor of the RBI and for his guidance and encouragement. Benefited a lot from his ideas and thoughts,” Das said.
He also thanked Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman “for her constant support and backing’. “Fondly recall the warmth, trust and confidence of late Arun Jaitley on me when I served as the RBI Governor (initial months) and earlier as Secretary Revenue and Economic Affairs,” Das said.
He also thanked all the stakeholders in the financial sector and in the economy, experts and economists, industry bodies and associations, organisations in the agriculture, cooperative & service sectors for their inputs and policy suggestions.
