This  Statement sets out various developmental and regulatory policy measures  relating to (i) Financial Markets ; (ii) Cybersecurity ; and (iii) Payment  Systems. I. Financial  Markets 1. Introduction of forward contracts in Government  securities 

Over the past few years, the Reserve Bank has been expanding the suite of interest rate derivative products available to market participants to manage their interest rate risks. In addition to Interest Rate Swaps, products such as Interest Rate Options, Interest Rate Futures, Interest Rate Swaptions, Forward Rate Agreements, etc. are available to market participants. We have been receiving feedback about the need to allow forward contracts in Government securities to enable further market development.  Such forward contracts will enable long-term investors such as  insurance funds to manage their interest rate risk across interest rate cycles.  They will also enable efficient pricing of derivatives that use bonds as underlying instruments. Draft directions in this regard were issued in December 2023. The final directions, taking into account the public feedback, will be issued shortly.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) met on 5th, 6th and 7th of this month. You are aware that the Governor’s Statement after the MPC meeting contains not only the resolution of the MPC with regard to the policy rate and stance but also other announcements and measures, which have a bearing on the monetary and regulatory policies. The MPC resolution is of course of interest to a large number of people from various walks of life, as it impacts the lives of virtually all citizens of the country. The resolution also provides the rationale and the thought process of the MPC, and is of relevance to businesses, economists, academicians and the finance world. Apart from these MPC related announcements, the Governor’s statement has become an important medium for the Reserve Bank to highlight its priorities on which it would like the regulated entities to focus their energies on. It is an opportunity to point out areas of concern and challenges for the stakeholders to address their attention to. It is an occasion for the Reserve Bank to articulate its views on critical areas of interest. I will continue with this practice of a detailed statement.

As we stand at the threshold of 2025, let me reflect upon the eventful journey of 2024. In line with the trend in the last few years, central banks were once again put to the ultimate test to stabilise their economies against continuous, colossal and complex shocks. Central banks are constantly adapting to the new global economic and financial landscape created by geopolitical conflicts, geoeconomic fragmentation, financial market volatility and continuing uncertainties, all of which are testing the resilience of the global economy. The last mile of disinflation is turning out to be prolonged and arduous, both for advanced and emerging market economies (EMEs). Maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability, and building buffers, continue to be the lodestar for the EMEs.

Monetary Policy Decisions After assessing the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at its meeting today (December 6, 2024) decided to:  Keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 6.50 per cent.

The Reserve Bank has today released data on Reserve Money for the week ended November 29, 2024.
