Last will be the Economist’s Panel where the discussion will revolve around ‘Economics beyond CPI & Repo Rate’. The thrust of the discussion will be to deliberate on whether we can move a little beyond repo rate and CPI projections and engage in a more fruitful discussion on policies which will also look to inducing growth while remaining rooted in the need to contain inflation.
