Monetary Policy Dilemmas: Some RBI Perspectives
I value this opportunity of speaking at the Stern School to an academic community interested in central bank issues. Over the last decade, the profile of central banks has gone up. First, we had the Great Moderation - a period of extraordinary benign macroeconomic environment globally, characterized by steady growth in advanced economies and accelerated growth in emerging economies, and low and stable inflation all around. Central banks took credit for this, believed

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

Striking the Balance between Growth and Inflation in India
Striking the Balance between Growth and Inflation in India* I. Introduction The Indian economy recovered relatively quickly from the financial crisis of 2008, but inflationary pressures emerged even in the early stages of the recovery in late 2009. Over the past year and a half, the challenge for monetary policy has been to contain these inflationary pressures without disrupting the recovery. The economy grew by 8.5 per cent in the fiscal year 2010-11, which is close

Mutual Funds and Market Development in India
Mutual Funds and Market Development in India* I. Introduction Financial sector development can be viewed as a process that enhances four critical attributes of the financial system: efficiency, stability, transparency and inclusion. The emergence of intermediation mechanisms and products that help improve on one or more of these without causing others to weaken are, therefore, a meaningful indicator of financial development. From this perspective, Mutual Funds play an

India and the Global Financial Crisis What Have We Learnt?
Thank you for inviting me to deliver the 2011 K R Narayanan Oration. It is an honour to which I attach a lot of value. President Narayanan 2. Late President Narayanan was a distinguished diplomat, a reputed parliamentarian, a capable minister and above all an erudite scholar.

Monetary policy in a world with macroprudential policy
Introduction Ladies and gentlemen, it is a privilege to be able to speak today to this distinguished group of Governors. As for my subject, I will focus on how monetary policy might need to adjust to the implementation of new macroprudential frameworks. To speak on this topic in India is almost presumptuous, given that the Reserve Bank of India is among those central banks, mainly Asian ones, that have successfully combined both monetary policy and macroprudential mea

Policy Discipline and Spillovers in an Inter-connected Global Economy
The interconnected world is not new. We have been living in it for some time. For half a century, exports, international capital flows, and foreign direct investment have been growing much faster than GDP, binding economies ever more tightly together. In many ways, this process has been a tremendous force for good. My own country, India, is testament to that. Integration with the world contributed to growth, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. But i

Sustainability of Economic Growth and Controlling Inflation: The Way Forward
It is my pleasure to speak at FICCI’s National Executive Committee Meeting this year. As many observers have been highlighting, after a relatively long phase of benign, growth-friendly macroeconomic conditions, things have begun to look somewhat hostile on the macroeconomic front. The most significant manifestation of this is the acceleration of inflation, a trend that was visible even before the impact of the financial crisis was felt in late 2008, but which very qui

Lessons for Monetary Policy from the Global Financial Crisis : An Emerging Market Perspective
The global financial crisis has challenged the conventional views on the role of monetary policy. Post-crisis, the weight of arguments tilts towards acceptance of financial stability as an objective of central bank or monetary policy. However, the key challenge is to evolve a consistent framework for implementation. While interest rate can continue as the dominant instrument for implementing monetary policy, supplementing it with other quantity or macro-prudential ins

I. Introduction It is a great pleasure for me to be delivering the VIth V. Narayanan Memorial Lecture. I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Narayanan, but, from what I have heard and read about him, he was clearly a person dedicated to the mission of expanding the reach of and access to banking services in a way which benefitted both the customer and the service provider.

Implications of the Expansion of Central Bank Balance Sheets
1. At the outset, let me congratulate the BIS for bringing out a very analytical and comprehensive paper on the subject. The topic for the session has been thrown into prominence by the experience of the recent financial crisis when many central banks were forced to adopt an expansionary stance of monetary policy. The expansion of balance sheets of central banks has important monetary and financial implications. In normal times, a central bank’s balance sheet attracts
