<p>Urjit Patel as next RBI Governor will bring “great continuity” at the central bank, his fellow Deputy Governor S S Mundra said, describing him as “a man of clear opinion who may bring some changes”.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Mundra said his colleague Patel has been continuously involved with RBI and has a clear opinion on all issues.<br /><br />“Every new leader will bring his or her own thinking. There could be some addition, (in) some processes little bit changes. It’s normal in transition. We are looking for great continuity and that provides great comfort,” he said.<br /><br />SBI Chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya said, “Patel has been at the helm of institutionalising the inflation targeting regime in the monetary policy framework.
