Das also extended his wishes to the new Governor of RBI, Sanjay Malhotra. He said, "Sanjay Malhotra has vast experience, I am sure he will do his best..."
The outgoing Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Shaktikanta Das, said on Monday that restoring the inflation-gross balance is the most important task ahead of the RBI. He added that he is confident that the central bank will move forward under the leadership of the new governor.
"First, so far as the Reserve Bank is concerned, I think restoring the inflation-gross balance is the most important task ahead of the Reserve Bank, and I am sure the Team RBI, under the leadership of the new Governor, will take it forward,” he said.
Das also extended his wishes to the new Governor of RBI, Sanjay Malhotra. He said, "Sanjay Malhotra has vast experience, I am sure he will do his best..."
Das added, "Teamwork in the Reserve Bank was perhaps, in my experience, at a very high level. I got excellent cooperation from every member of my RBI team, each of my colleagues did their best during the trying times of Covid. My journey as the Governor of the RBI...I was fortunate to get this opportunity, and I tried to give my best to the institution, to its policies in the best interest of the economy"
Early Monday morning, Das shared a series of tweets on X (formerly Twitter) thanking everyone for their support during his tenure with RBI. “Will demit office as Governor RBI later today. Thank you everyone for your support and good wishes,” he wrote.
