In order to keep you one step forward and to boost your General Knowledge and confidence level, here we are presenting you an important topic “The New Boss – Dr. Urjit R Patel ” in our Spark Plug series. This will surely help you in your exam preparation.
The New Boss – The chosen is indeed Dr. Urjit Patel.
Dr. Urjit R Patel has been appointed as the New Governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for a period of three years with effect from 4th September, 2016. He will replace the present RBI Governor Dr. Raghuram Rajan. Dr Patel is presently the Deputy Governor of RBI and is holding this assignment since 2013. He will take charge after Raghuram Rajan demits office on September 4. He will be appointed as the 24th RBI Governor.
About Dr. Patel (Ph.D)
Urjit R. Patel (born 28 October 1963) is an Indian economist, consultant and banker. He played a vital role in monetary policy, economic policy research, statistics and information management, deposit insurance, communication and Right to Information.
Education
Patel obtained his Bachelor’s in Economics from the London School of Economics, M. Phil. degree from Oxford University in 1986. He received his doctorate in Economics from Yale University in 1990. He was at IMF India desk during the 1991–94 transition period. He was posted to IMF country mission in India 1992–95. He has also been a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution since 2009.
Career
After obtaining his PhD, Dr. Patel joined the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1990 worked on the USA, India, Bahamas and Myanmar desks at IMF till 1995. Thereafter he went on deputation the IMF to the Reserve Bank of India, where he played an advisory role in the development of the debt market, banking sector reforms, pension fund reforms, targeting of real exchange rate. After the two-year deputation with RBI, Patel became a Consultant to the Government of India in the Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs – a position he held from 1998 to 2001.
Between 2000 and 2004, Dr. Patel worked with several High Level Committees at both Central and State Government level, including Competition Commission, Task Force on Direct Taxes, Prime Minister’s Task Force on Infrastructure, Group of Ministers on Telecom Matters, Advisory Committee on Research Projects and Market Studies, Committee on Civil Aviation Reforms, Expert Group on State Electricity Boards and High Level Expert Group on Civil & Defence Services Pension System.
On 11 January 2013, Urjit Patel was appointed as Deputy Governor of RBI for a period of three years. He took over charge of the vital Monetary Policy Department, succeeding Subir Gokarn to the post.
When the UPA Government in India came into power for a second term in 2009, it announced a ‘100-day’ action plan, which became a hot topic for media discussion. Surprisingly, Urjit Patel was the expert commentator on UPA’s first 100 days on Hindi News Channel, although he had no prior media exposure in India.
Why Dr. Patel?
His academic record is unblemished that signifies continuity or smooth transition. Yes he does continuity of policies particularly in all important area of monetary policy. Urjit Patel was the main author of the report on which the present monetary policy framework is based, so continuity of policies particularly in all important area of monetary policy ensured. Urjit Patel was the main author of the report on which the present monetary policy framework. So certainly there is continuity as far as the inflation targeting and monetary policy is concerned. We have to wait and see how things plan out because just to put a small caveat that the entire idea of inflation targeting is now undergoing a great deal of rethinking particularly in the context of merging markets. We are open to new ideas as in when this happens because particularly the global financial crisis and the entire field of economic and macro economic is undergoing a great deal of rethinking. So, while there is a advantage of continuity, the continuity should be with an open mind. He is going to ensure continuity and understand the current challenges.
The biggest problem which we are facing now is inflation v/s growth. The sigma of that is to create growth in the economy. The momentum should be in pace i.e. someone who understands what Dr. Raghuram Rajan did and needs to be done beyond.
Dr. Patel is a very fine macro economic expert and he also has both domestic and international experience since he was in IMF in the first part of his career. He has a good experience in the private sector working in the IDFC for a number of years.
