Interestingly, cyclical sectors such as industrials, commodities and telecom surprised the markets after prolonged sluggish performance<\/li>\n<li>Among the GDP numbers, consumption growth, which was also reeling under a slowdown, picked pace from 5.7% average in the first half of FY-16 to 7.5% in the second half.

There is also a whole new structure to allow banks to recover payments from failing projects and to review quality of assets.<\/p>\n<p>The above macro indicators with the policies thus far crafted and in place\u00a0 should see the economy through until such time a new Governor rolls out his\/her vision.<\/p>\n<p><b>Many heroes from RBI<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Also, to think that the RBI has not had too many heroes would be belittling the institution.<\/p>\n<p>Let us not forget that the RBI has had many great leaders; one of the more recent, less flamboyant but equally heroic one being Dr Y V Reddy \u2013\u00a0 called by many foreign Central banks as the man who saved India from the 2008 Global crisis. Be it the introduction of the new market stabilisation scheme or anticipation of an asset bubble and increasing provisioning for lending in sectors such as real estate or leaving little scope for random securitisation of loans, Dr Reddy did it all before anybody elsewhere thought about it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-highlight\" style=\"clear: both; background: #f4f4f4; border: none; width: 60%; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/registration\/login.jsp?ref=blog-button\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold;\">Open<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;\"> a FREE Account Now! <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>While this is not to brush aside the achievements of the man who reigned in the currency \u2013 Dr Rajan &#8211; \u00a0it may be too simplistic to say that there cannot be more good governors.<\/p>\n<p>If domestic and institutional investors react to the one event of Dr Rajan\u2019s leaving, they would be no different from the traders, reacting to every news on the street.<\/p>\n<p>You do not have to do the same.
