Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das on Wednesday said inflation has moderated, and the next print is expected to be lower than 4.7 per cent though there is no room for complacency and the war on inflation will continue. Retail inflation fell to an 18-month low of 4.7 per cent in April, mainly due to cooling food prices. “Inflation has moderated (and) the last print is 4.7 per cent. Perhaps the next print could be lower,” he said while addressing CII members here. The governor, however, emphasised that although inflation has moderated, there is no room for complacency.
