India's food inflation soars 19pc
AFP, New Delhi
Indian food prices have accelerated by 19 percent in a year, figures Thursday showed, driven by the driest monsoon in nearly four decades that has hit farm output.
Prices of such staples as potatoes have more than doubled from a year ago while pulses were up 42 percent, hitting India's hundreds of millions of poor the hardest.
The wholesale food price Index climbed by 19.05 percent for the week ended November 28 from the same period a year ago, according to commerce ministry figures.
Food price rises have been fuelled by the worst annual rainfall since 1972 which hurt crop production in the country of nearly 1.2 billion people.
India's central bank is facing a tricky balancing act in fighting inflation and keeping the country's economic recovery on track, economists say.
Earlier in the week, central bank Governor Duwurl Subbarao called monetary policy "an ineffective instrument" to lame food prices but added such action might be needed to curb inflationary expectations.
"If inflationary pressure persists for a long time it can fuel inflation expectations and monetary policy will have to take a nuanced view on this," he said.

"The first agreement, covering three A380 aircraft, has been undertaken with Citibank, backed by a guarantee from the European Export Credit Agencies (ECAs)," the government-owned carriersaid.
"A second financing agreement has been arranged through Doric Asset Finance and covers the remaining three A380 aircraft," itadded.
Emirates president Tim Clark sounded upbeat, distancing the carrier from Dubai World debt problems, which have raised fears over the financial stability of Dubai government-entities.
"Emirates remains in a secure financial position despite the global financial crisis. We have never encountered difficulties in obtaining finance for our aircraft acquisition programme," he said in the statement.

AFP, London
Britain and France urged world leaders Thursday to impose a tax on bankers' bonuses, a day after London announced a one-off levy on the much-criticised finance sector benefits.
Seeking to show a united front days after a public Anglo-French spat over financial regulation, Prime Minister Gordon Brown and President Nicolas Sarkozy said there was an "urgent need" for a new agreement between banks and society.
"We propose a long term global compact that will encapsulate both the responsibilities of the banking system and the risk they pose to the economy as a whole," they wrote in the Wall Street Journal newspaper.
"We agree that a one-off tax in relation to bonuses should be considered a priority due to the fact that bonuses for 2009 have arisen pardy because of government support for the bankingsystem.”

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude TYichet urged the Greek government onThursday to take "courageous" measures to tackle its debt crisis since it concerns the whole eurozone.
"Consider the gravity of the situation. I am confident that the Greek government will in the near future take the courageous and necessary measures required," he said in an interview in the Belgian economic dailies L'Echo and DeTijd.
Greece revealed on Wednesday that it is working on radical action to reverse a deepening financial crisis which is straining eurozone cohesion and focusing market anxiety on emerging economies.
"1 can assure you that the government will do whatever is required to regain this lost credibility," Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou told journalists.
