India Central Bank Chief Latest Official to Test Covid Positive

 

Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das said he has tested positive for Covid-19 but is asymptomatic and will continue to work in isolation. โ€œWork in RBI will go on normally,โ€ Das said on Twitter late Sunday. โ€œI am in touch with all Deputy Governors and other officers through VC and telephone.โ€ Das is the latest high-ranking executive among Prime Minister Narendra Modiโ€™s policy makers to test positive for the coronavirus. India is the second-worst-affected country after the U.S., and while official data show fresh infections slowing, both Das and Modi have recently warned that a potential second wave is a risk to the economy, which has already shrunk the most among peers.

 

The next meeting of the Reserve Bankโ€™s rate-setting panel is due December 2-4.
