Rajan calls for new global pact to deal with monetary policy issues

New Delhi: The world is facing an “increasingly dangerous situation” and a new international agreement on the lines of Bretton Woods is needed to prevent central banks from adopting policies that could hurt other economies, said RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan.

“What I have in mind (is that we) will eventually require a new international agreement along the lines of Bretton Woods and some reinterpretation of the mandates of internationally influential central banks,” he said in a commentary posted on the website of Project Syndicate on Monday.
