Emerging market central bankers want Fed to raise rates: report

Sept 10, 2015 (LBO) – Central bankers in emerging markets want the US Federal Reserve to increase interest rates sooner rather than later to end market uncertainty.

“The situation will recover the sooner the Fed makes a decision and then gives expectation to the market that they increase one or two times and then stop.

Raghuram Rajan, governor of India’s central bank, told the Wall Street Journal: “It’s preferable to have a move early on and an advertised, slow move up rather than the Fed be forced to tighten more significantly down the line.”

The World Bank’s chief economist Kaushik Basu, however, said that the Fed should keep rates on hold next week to avoid “panic and turmoil” in emerging markets, a message that contrasts sharply with what the central bankers are saying.
