WSJ Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
Parussini describes the different style of new RBI Governor Urjit Patel, who is no rock star economist like his predecessor Raghuram Rajan. Rajan is quoted as once saying; "My name is Raghuram Rajan and I do what I do." Rajan engaged widely with the media. At his first press conference Patel made a short statement thanking RBI staff, and turned it over to staff at RBI who talked about financial supervision, banking regulation and other issues. Patel's answers were short without follow-up questions, the whole event over in 20 minutes. Patel was chosen by the new government of prime minister Modi to run RBI in 2016.

Rajan says he works well with prime minister Modi's economic policymaking team, including Arun Jaitley, the finance minister, and economic advisors to the Indian government. With the drop in oil prices there was pressure from the business sector and the small business support base of the new government for a reduction in interest rates. Rajan says he held off on reducing rates at the Dec. 2, 2014 meeting because it was not clear at the time whether the oil prices would remain low for an extended period. Since then inventory data and OPEC policymakers guidance show the prices are likely to remain low for an extended period. On Jan. 14, 2014, Rajan lowered rates by one quarter of a percentage point. In the Indian setup the Governor of the central bank makes decisions compared to the Federal Open Market Committee making decisions at the U.S. Federal Reserve.
