WHOLESALE INFLATION HITS A RECORD HIGH OF 12.94% IN MAY FROM 10.49% IN APR
• India's wholesale inflation hit a record high of 12.94 per cent in May from
10.49 per cent in April due to low base and a continued rise in fuel and
commodity prices, data released by the government showed.
• Wholesale inflation came in at (-) 3.37 per cent in May 2020, on account of
implementation of a stringent nationwide lockdown.
• Wholesale inflation rate, measured by wholesale price index (WPI), has

been on a rise over the last six months. The latest inflation rate released
by the government is the highest under the current series available from
2013.
WHOLESALE INFLATION HITS A RECORD HIGH OF 12.94% IN MAY FROM 10.49% IN APR
• According to data released by the Commerce and Industry Ministry on
Monday, food prices rose to 4.31 per cent in May. Fuel and power
inflation stood at 37.61 per cent led by higher petrol and diesel prices.

two-third of the index, was 10.83 per cent.
RETAIL INFLATION HITS 6-MONTH HIGH OF 6.3
PC IN MAY ON COSTLIER FOOD, FUEL
RETAIL INFLATION HITS 6-MONTH HIGH OF 6.3 PC IN MAY ON COSTLIER FOOD, FUEL
• Rising prices of edible oils and protein rich items pushed the retail inflation to
a six-month high of 6.3 per cent in May, breaching the comfort level of the
Reserve Bank and thus rendering reduction in interest rates a difficult
proposition in the near term.
• The government has asked the Reserve Bank to keep the retail inflation at 4
per cent with a margin of 2 per cent on either side.
• CPI inflation has breached the upper band of the inflation target about 10
times since the first meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), which
decides the key interest rate, in October 2016.
RETAIL INFLATION HITS 6-MONTH HIGH OF 6.3 PC IN MAY ON COSTLIER FOOD, FUEL
• As per the data on CPI, factored in by the RBI while arriving at its monetary
policy, the steepest price rise was witnessed in the ‘oils and fat’ segment,
which on an annual basis showed an increase of 30.84 per cent.
• The May CPI data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) further
revealed that the rate of price rise in ‘meat and fish’, ‘egg’, ‘fruits’, and ‘pulses
and products’ stood at 9.03 per cent, 15.16 per cent, 11.98 per cent, and 9.39
per cent, respectively.
• The rate of price rise in the ‘fuel and light’ category quickened to 11.58 per
cent.

of office after parliament (Knesset) voted on Sunday on the new

several western economies have slipped down the Index due to COVID
lockdowns, as per the World Giving Index (WGI) 2021.

rankings.

• Indonesia remains in the first place, followed by Kenya. Four African

compliance officer was asked to pay Rs 50 lakh.
SEBI IMPOSES RS 15 CR PENALTY ON FT MF CHIEF EXECUTIVE, FUND MANAGERS
• “The serious lapses and violations clearly appear to be a fallout of FT MF’s

obsession to run high yield strategies without due regard from the concomitant
risk dimensions. FT MF ought to have realised that the past track record in
respect of high–risk strategies is no guarantee against future mishaps.”
• FT MF had shuttered its six debt schemes in April 2020 citing liquidity issues
due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
