"We can look back with a sense of satisfaction over the last year. The Reserve Bank of India has also on four occasions taken positive steps as far as rates are concerned. Hopefully this movement is there to stay," Mr Jaitley said at an industry event in Mumbai.
Last month, the central bank cut its policy interest rate to a 4-1/2 year low of 6.75 per cent, in a bigger-than-expected move, which, along with low levels of inflation, is expected to help a slowing economy.
Mr Jaitley also said the government would soon announce measures to deal with the debts faced by the power industry.
