Abstract
India adopted the Flexible Inflation Targeting (FIT) regime in 2016 under the mentorship of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). With FIT’s introduction, the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission channels required a re-visit and this paper is a valuable contribution in this direction. Using the multivariate model with an augmented Bayesian set- up, we find that FIT-MPC has strengthened the credit and interest rate channels while their impact on output has weakened. The impact of Operation Twist – a set of unconventional measures pursued during the pandemic is visible. Overall, the findings highlight the overhauling effect of monetary policy transmission in the Indian context.
