RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan on Wednesday said he will be around “a lot in India” even after leaving the central bank and should not be written off as yet.
The comments come within days of Rajan making public his no to a second term at Reserve Bank after his current three- year tenure ends on September 4.
“I feel like in the last few days I have read a lot of my obituaries and I’m still here. I’m still here for two-and-half months in this job. After that I’m going to still be around somewhere in the world, probably a lot in India, so don’t write me off,” Rajan Said.
During the question-and-answer session, he further said, “The only thing I will say is that... I read these obituaries in the papers, I am still alive. I will leave this office in September, but I certainly will be coming in and out of the country on numerous occasions.”
