Bloomberg: India Raises Interest Rates a Fifth Time to Contain Inflation
The Reserve Bank of India increased interest rates for the fifth time this year and said its actions have brought the “monetary situation close to normal.”
RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao boosted the repurchase rate to 6 percent from 5.75 percent, and the reverse repurchase rate a half point to 5 percent, the bank said in Mumbai today. “The role of normalization as a motivation for further actions is likely to be less important,” the statement said.

Those seeking returns have moved towards E.M. assets so of course such countries must attempt to curb the resulting inflation.
