English Language Model Practice Test for SBI PO 2019

SBI POs Prelims Model Paper

Directions (Q.No. I - 10) : Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words / phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. 

Sustained fast growth of the economy requires a stable macroeconomic framework, policies that stimulate growth, and institutions (including laws and rules) that support competitive self- sustaining, job-creating business and promote employment opportunities. Though India's GDP growth rate has risen gradually to 7.6 per cent in 2015 - 16 (estimated), par-ts of the economy are being buffeted by global growth deceleration, capital market uncertainty and deflationary pressures. These have reduced nominal growth to 8.6 percent and put pressure on the globalised corporate sector, reducing the nominal growth rates of their sales and profits. The rural economy has been weakened by two consecutive droughts, the first such dual droughts since the end-1990s. In this article, we review the budget to identify what, if anything, it proposes to do about these issues.

The 2016-17 budget implicitly recognises that a growth rate of 7.5 to 7.55 percent does not require an expansion of government expenditure or wide tax incentives, by sticking to the fiscal deficit target of 3.5 percent of the GDP for the next year. The decision to stick to fiscal targets enhances the credibility of the government, reduces the risk of contagion from world turmoil and sudden stops in capital flows and provides the basis for a reduction in policy inter-est rates by the RBI of up to 75 basic points. The proposed amendment of the RBI Act to create a monetary pol-icy committee will formalise flexible inflation targeting, enhance the credibility of the RBI and allow better monetary-fiscal policy balance.
