Forex market development-Issues and Challenges -Thoughts of a returning forex market regulator
Friends, 1. I am delighted to be in your midst after a long gap of a decade. The occasion brings back reminiscences of late 1990s and the early years of this century when the forex market in India was quite different from what exists today. A nascent market that it was, needed a lot of hand-holding from RBI. The Rupee was always moving down a one-way street and every bout of volatility ( plenty those days, for example, the South East Asian crisis, Nuclear sanctions, K

Approach to Capital Account Management - Shifting Contours
1. Thank you for inviting me to this forum once again and that too in these sublime environs.

Volatility in Capital Flows: Some Perspectives
As the crisis is ebbing, capital inflows into emerging market economies (EMEs) have resumed - a consequence of a global system awash with liquidity, the assurance of low interest rates ruling in advanced economies over ‘an extended period’ and the prospects of robust growth in EMEs. According to the IMF, net private financial flows to emerging and developing economies increased from US$ 254 billion in 2006 to US$ 689 billion in 2007 and then declined, at the height of

Forex Markets in India: Some Thoughts
It gives me great pleasure to address this gathering of forex professionals from all over the country. Looking at the list of speakers from the central bank who have addressed this august assembly in the past, I find that you have opted for change by inviting the regulator/supervisor rather than the exchange rate policy maker and manager from RBI. Although I am not very certain as to why, may be the fact that I was on your side of the market till a few months ago migh

Capital inflows to developing countries have many beneficial effects, especially in financing investment and economic growth; but they are also sometimes problematic for policy makers in developing countries.
