6月18日，印度央行總裁拉詹突然宣布確定將在9月離職，引發市場震撼，印度盧比隨即重貶。印度經濟在拉詹任內，不僅通膨率從兩位數驟降，盧比也逐步回穩，金融體系也更加健全；拉詹的專業素養在此成績背書下，無庸置疑。今年4月，拉詹受訪時曾對國際金融發表直率看法，就讓我們看看他下台前的最後諍言吧。

Rajan: I think there is more of a consensus that monetary policy pretty much has run its course. So I think, in the industrial world at least, it seems as if unless we have a brainwave and understand fully what is really going on, it is really muddling through, doing what we can — which then means we have to be a little more pragmatic about growth. My sense is industrial countries' central banks should probably consider whether they are doing more harm than good by easing further.
Journalist: The Indian economy is the bright spot in the global economy….
Rajan: I think we've still to get to a place where we feel satisfied. We have this saying, "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
拉詹：我想對於貨幣政策已經走到盡頭是一項共識。所以，至少在工業國家，看起來除非我們靈機一動有更好想法，以及完全搞懂現況，否則即使現在局面真的是一片混亂，還是要做我們可以做的事，也就是說，我們對於經濟成長應該要更務實一點。我感覺工業國家的央行或許應該想一想，他們如果繼續寬鬆是不是弊大於利。
記者：印度經濟是全球經濟的亮點⋯⋯。
拉詹：我想我們目前進展僅是差強人意。有個說法是這樣，「在一群盲人中，獨眼便能稱王。」
