      In introduction you have written that inflation has led to monetary policy expansion, that’s not true, actually vice versa can be true,frame it better. Also, you can avoid it as you have mentioned it in issues. Give some data related to low growth in recent quarters, that will be better.

      Factors causing inflation are fine, also mention supply chain issues during lockdowns.

      In inflation and low growth section, also mention about rising NPAs. You can talk about MInsky moment here only-decline of asset prices of SMEs, causing mass panic and the inability of debtors to pay their interest and principal may further increase bad debt. Don’t introduce new point in conclusion, mention in the body of the answer only. Rest of the points are fine.

      Conclusion is fine, you can also mention the K-shaped recovery we are witnessing and the need to correct it.

      Keep practicing. You are writing well. 🙂
