India’s Central Bank has raised interest rates in a bid to battle high inflation. The economy is growing at a brisk pace, but rising prices remain a key concern. The latest interest rate hikes announced by the Central Bank are higher than expected. The rate at which it lends to banks is up by a quarter percentage point to six per cent, while the rate at which it borrows from banks has been raised by half a percentage point to five per cent. A statement by the Central Bank said inflation remains the dominant concern. It is the fifth time this year that interest rates have been raised. Interest rates began rising as the government started winding down stimulus measures put in place in 2008 to cope with the global financial slowdown. At that time interest rates had been slashed to encourage more spending by consumers.
Now India’s economy is growing briskly once again. But at the same time, prices have been rising. Even though inflation has declined marginally in recent weeks, it is still around eight and a half percent.
The rising prices are a huge worry for the government because they adversely affect poor people, who make up nearly forty per cent of the billion plus population. Opposition parties have accused it of not doing enough to rein in prices. The government hopes that raising interest rates will help bring down inflation. The government’s chief economic policy maker, Kaushik Basu says he expects inflation to taper off by March next year.
India’s economy is expected to grow by nearly nine per cent this year — the world’s second fastest-growing major economy after China.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Why has India’s Central Bank raised interest rates?
27. Why do the rising prices become a huge worry for the government?
28. What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、To inhibit loans.
B、To control inflation.
C、To inhibit consumption.
D、To encourage personal saving.
答案
B
解析
选项均为不定式短语表明,本题可能考查做某事的目的。短文开头提到,印度的中央银行提高了利率,以抵制严重的通货膨胀,[B]正是对此的同义转述,故为答案。in a bid to意为“为了,以便”。
