In order to attract higher investments, the Indian taxation system should be more transparent, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan said on Monday.

Speaking at a seminar here, Rajan stressed that the Indian tax system should be transparent and predictable to attract foreign investments.

According to him, to make products in India, a framework has to be created making it easy to do business in the country.

He also said the supply side issues have to be addressed so that prices were under control and the demand side was taken care of.

Stating that nine percent growth in economy was an aspiration, Rajan said the supply side constraints had to be removed while ruling out growth sans inflation.
