    India must focus on keeping inflation low and avoid using monetary policy alone and short-term government incentives to fuel shortterm economic growth, the country's central bank governor said on Friday. Rajan said monetary policy can help strengthen the current economic recovery, but he added India will ultimately "expand sustainable growth potential only by continuing to implement reforms the government and regulators have announced."

    Rajan used Brazil as a "salutary lesson" in how the wrong policies -including using low rates to fuel unsustainable growth and government policies that favoured only some sectors - can impact emerging markets. He noted Brazil's current fiscal and economic woes today came after the country "tried to grow too fast". Although Rajan said India was far sturdier, calling it "an island of calm in an ocean of turmoil".
