मुद्रास्फीति पर घरेलू अपेक्षाओं का सर्वेक्षण – जनवरी 2021

आज, रिजर्व बैंक ने अपने द्विमासिक मुद्रास्फीति पर घरेलू अपेक्षाओं के सर्वेक्षण (IESH)1 के जनवरी 2021 चक्र के परिणाम जारी किए। कोविद-19 महामारी के चलते, यह सर्वेक्षण 18 प्रमुख शहरों में जनवरी 2 से 11, 2021 के दौरान, जहाँ कहीं भी संभव हो सका फ़ील्ड पर साक्षात्कार के माध्यम से, अन्यत्र, टेलीफ़ोनिक साक्षात्कार के माध्यम से आयोजित किया गया था। इसके परिणाम 5,940 शहरी परिवारों2 के प्रत्युत्तरों पर आधारित हैं।

विशेष:

i. नवंबर 2020 के चक्र की तुलना में मौजूदा अवधि के लिए परिवारों की मुद्रास्फीति की धारणा और तीन महीने आगे मुद्रास्फीति की अपेक्षाओं में क्रमशः 60 आधार अंकों और 80 आधार अंकों की गिरावट आई है, जबकि एक वर्ष आगे मुद्रास्फीति की अपेक्षाएँ अपरिवर्तित रहीं [चार्ट 1a एवं 1b; तालिका 3]।

ii. पिछले कुछ सर्वेक्षण चक्रों की तुलना में उत्तरदाता भविष्य की मुद्रास्फीति के बारे में अधिक अनिश्चित थे, जैसा कि विस्तृत आत्मविश्वास अंतराल में परिलक्षित होता है [चार्ट 1a एवं 1b; तालिका 3]।

iii. अधिकाधिक परिवारों को अगले एक वर्ष में सामान्य कीमतों के साथ-साथ मुद्रास्फीति बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। खाद्य और गैर-खाद्य वस्तुओं के मामले में यह प्रमुखता से परिलक्षित है [तालिका 1b]।

iv. परिवारों को एक वर्ष आगे सेवाओं की कीमतों पर, एक तिमाही आगे की तुलना में, अधिक दबाव की उम्मीद है।

1 यह सर्वेक्षण उत्तरदाताओं के अपेक्षित निकट भविष्य में मुद्रास्फीतिकारी दबाव पर उपयोगी निदेशात्मक जानकारी प्रदान करता है और उनकी स्वयं की खपत प्रवृत्ति को प्रतिबिंबित करता है। अतः इन्हें मुद्रास्फीति पर परिवारिक इकाइयो की भावनाओं के रूप में माना जाना चाहिए।

2 सर्वेक्षण के पिछले चक्रों के लिए यूनिट-स्तर डेटा बैंक के भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था पर डेटाबेस (DBIE) पोर्टल पर उपलब्ध हैं (वेबलिंक : https://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=unitLevelData)।
