MUMBAI - Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Viral Acharya has resigned six months before the scheduled end of his term in office, the Business Standard newspaper reported on Monday.
His resignation would also mean the RBI is likely to be more dovish over monetary policy and willing to cut interest rates as Acharya, who is in charge of departments that look at monetary policy and exchange rate markets, had been regarded as more of an inflation hawk, economists said.Pressed for further comment on the reason for his resignation, Acharya told the Business Standard: “A schoolteacher once told me: ‘When your work speaks for itself, do not interrupt’.
Staunchly defending the need for central bank independence, Acharya made public disputes with the government over issues ranging from lending curbs, more cash availability to the non-banking finance companies , to who controls the RBI’s reserves.
