This SBI / RBI Main Exam quiz series will mold your preparations in the right direction and the regular practice of these quizzes will be really very helpful in scoring good marks in the Examination. Here we are providing you important question of English Language for SBI / RBI Main Exam.



Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.


The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been responding to falling inflation by easing monetary policy. In addition, the stance on liquidity underwent a significant change from ‘tight’ to ‘neutral’ in the last six months. More importantly, the central bank continues to signal an accommodative bias in its future guidance.
Despite this, there has been a policy status quo that resulted in an acceleration of food inflation and a moderate hardening of global commodity prices provided an upside risk to RBI’s projected inflation target of 5% for March 2017.However, both these risks have now failed to crystallize and room for incremental monetary easing is opening up.
Global commodity prices, especially crude oil at around $45, have stabilized, with risks evenly balanced in the near-to-medium term. More importantly, the monsoon has been normal so far (with cumulative south-west rainfall at 97% of the long period average) after two consecutive deficient years.Moreover, healthy reservoir levels suggest that sowing conditions for the upcoming rabi season are also likely to be conducive.

The government’s first advance estimate for 20167 kharif production is extremely encouraging. Total foodgrain production is projected to touch a record 135.03 million tonnes, exceeding the full-year target by 2.28 million tonnes. Led by pulses, oilseeds and coarse cereals, growth in foodgrain production is expected to touch 8.9% in the year 20167. In the last two years, it shrank by an average 1.9%.
In fact, the preliminary impact of improvement in acreage has already started to show. In August, the food index in consumer price index (CPI) contracted by 0.4% against the average increase of 1.5% observed during the same month in the previous five years. More importantly, information on high frequency mandi prices indicates that the sequential deflation in the overall food index could gather further pace in coming months.

This is likely to take the headline CPI inflation to 4.5-4.6% in September 2016 and further towards 4% by December 2016. If rabi sowing also turns out to be as good as kharif, food inflation could remain subdued, thereby keeping headline CPI inflation around 4.5% by March 2017, 50 basis points (bps) lower than the target. One basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point. This will open up space for incremental monetary easing. RBI can be expected to cut repo rate by 25 bps in its upcoming policy review so as to maximize the impact of supportive domestic and global factors.These would be factors such as an expected pickup in domestic demand due to the fortunate alignment of enablers like the Seventh Central Pay Commission (CPC) payouts, supportive monsoon and upcoming festive season in India.
