According to a recent SBI report, what is the primary reason for the expected inflation rate to remain around 5 percent for the fiscal year 2024-25 in India?
The SBI report highlights that the Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) in India is expected to remain around 5 percent during the financial year 2024-25, with an observed rise to 5.08 percent in June 2024 primarily attributed to higher food and beverage prices. The impact of the monsoon season on food prices is significant, as adequate rainfall generally supports crop yields but excess rainfall can cause crop damage, leading to increased prices due to supply shortages. Thus, the high food and beverage prices are pinpointed as the main driver behind the expected inflation rate, making option C the correct answer. Other options like reduced industrial output, lower international oil prices, increased technology exports, and decreased consumer demand do not directly relate to the primary reason discussed in the SBI report for the anticipated inflation rate.
