RBI’s Report On Currency And Finance 2022-23 Suggests Carbon Pricing system for India  The report released by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Report On Currency And Finance 2022-23 on May 03, 2023, recommends India to introduce a broad-based carbon pricing system in line with emerging global best practices to meet the country’s climate goals.

• The theme of the report is –  ‘Towards a Greener Cleaner India’,
• The report does not represent the views of the RBI, inturn it is based on the findings, views and conclusions of the contributors from the Department of Economic and Policy Research (DEPR).

Key Recommendations of the Report to India:
i.The carbon tax was suggested to be accompanied by complementary redistributive policies due to its regressive nature, in view of the inability of the weaker sections of the society to move to eco-friendly modes of production and patterns of consumption.
ii.The report also recommends introduction of an Emissions Trading System (ETS) linked to green taxonomy, covering all sectors of the economy, which can partly balance subsidy (less polluting industries getting carbon credits for trading) and tax (more polluting industries that should have to buy carbon certificates).
Note – According to the data released by RBI, India’s services exports increased by a record 26.6% in 2022-23 (FY23) to US$ 322 billion.
