The Ministry of Finance and National Planning is largely responsible for formulating and implementing fiscal policy for the nation. However, at many stages of the policy formulation, input is sought from the Reserve Bank. This harmonisation of policies is enacted in the RBF Act and is effected through a number of institutional measures, which ensure that policies are not in conflict.

During this period, the close co-ordination of policies as mandated by the RBF Act has resulted in deliberate decisions to finance the deficit domestically at cheaper interest rates, while ensuring private sector demand is not crowded out. Success of these measures is reflected in the lowest average inflation rates in the past decade since independence and
