In Feb 2010, RBI started this interesting initiative of a teleconference with researchers and analysts. During that time, RBI used to announce monetary policy every quarter. This was interesting as one saw very specific questions from the researchers/analysts over monetary policy.
However, from Oct-2016 policy, for some unknown reason RBI stopped putting the proceedings of the teleconference on its website. The teleconference was held but never put up on the website.
Under the new Governor, this practice has started again. RBI has put up the audio recording (mp3 format) of the telecon held yesterday. This is a welcome development and RBI should continue putting these telecon (audio and transcripts) on their website.
