Challenges in Developing the Bond Market in BRICS
I. Introduction I notice that the Seminar is on developing bond markets in BRICS. Though bond markets include both the government securities market and the corporate bonds market, I would dwell upon only on corporate debt market. The reason is simple. The government securities market in the BRICS countries have attained a definite positions, whereas the corporate bonds market are at nascent stage. 2. For example, India’s Government securities market - by whatever crit

Asset Quality of Indian Banks: Way Forward
The Indian banks in general, and the Public Sector Banks (PSBs) in particular, are grappling with the huge stock of stressed assets that has piled up in the system over the years. Any amount of discussion on the whys and what of stressed assets would therefore never be enough, if it enables us to discern what led to this phenomenal build-up of non-performing assets (NPAs) in our system and determine what we should do to solve them, and identify what could be done diff

Information Technology & Cyber Risk in Banking Sector – The Emerging Fault lines
Good Morning! At the outset, I would like to compliment CAFRAL for organizing this International Seminar on Cyber Risk and Mitigation for banks and FIs, a topic which has assumed centre stage, not only in India but globally. Let me begin by quoting John Chambers, former CEO of CISCO, who famously summed up the significance of cyber risk for the enterprises thus: “There are only two types of organisations, one who have been hacked and others who don’t know that they ha

The Independence of the Central Bank
Good afternoon. It is great to be invited to speak at St. Stephen's College. In 1980, I toyed with the idea of joining my best friends in applying for admission to the BA in Economics here. Because I had worked so hard for the IIT exam, however, I succumbed to the sunk cost fallacy and studied Electrical Engineering. I don’t regret a moment of that misspent youth but I hope you will grant me temporary membership of your club today! Over the last few weeks, I have outl

Strengthening Our Debt Markets
Thank you for inviting me to speak to FEDAI. In the last few weeks, in successive speeches, I have outlined the RBI’s approach to inflation, distressed debt, financial inclusion, and banking sector reform. I want to speak today about debt markets and associated derivatives; why we need them to be deep and liquid, why, in addition to central and state governments, we need riskier firms and projects to be able to access the bond markets for funds, why we need to encoura

New paradigm in Banking : Banking is Necessary, Not Banks - Really?
“Banking is necessary, but banks are not”, I am quoting here Bill Gates, what he said as Chairman, Microsoft, way back in 1994. Today, after twenty two years, has his prediction or forewarning come true? I intend to explore this in today’s discussion with you. 2. It is usual for many of us who lecture others to say ‘We are at cross roads’, ‘The Paradigm shifts that are staring us’ etc. That’s because it takes time to discern the trends that are taking place in any sec

Interesting, Profitable, and Challenging: Banking in India Today
Thank you for inviting me to give this address to the FICCI-IBA Annual Global Banking Conference. Perhaps the most important issue on the minds of bankers, given the results season, is the Asset Quality Review initiated in early 2015-16. It has improved recognition of NPAs and provisioning in banks enormously, and many of you have fully imbibed the spirit of the review. Some banks have taken significant steps in recognizing incipient stress early. Now focus should mov

Remarks of Dr. Raghuram Rajan, Governor - July 18, 2016 - at the IDRBT Banking Technology Excellence Awards, Hyderabad
I congratulate all the awardees of the IDRBT Banking Technology Excellence Awards. IDRBT instituted these Awards in the year 2001, which reflects the long road traversed by the banking sector in terms of technology adoption. The last few years have seen the convergence of various factors in the payment systems sphere, which makes possible a near-revolutionary improvement in financial access.

The Changing Paradigm for Financial Inclusion
Thank you for inviting me to address this seminar on equity, access, and inclusion. Financial inclusion is about (a) the broadening of financial services to those people and enterprises who do not have access to financial services sector ; (b) the deepening of financial services for those who have minimal financial services; and (c) greater financial literacy and consumer protection so that those who are offered financial products can make appropriate choices.

Resolving Stress in the Banking System
Thank you very much for inviting me to give this talk. Ordinarily, in a city like Bengaluru, we would talk about startups. Today, however, I want to talk about the resolution of financial distress. I will argue that the slowdown in credit growth has been largely because of stress in the public sector banking and not because of high interest rates. As such, what is required is a clean-up of the balance sheets of public sector banks, which is what is underway and needs

The fight against inflation: a measure of our institutional development
I thank the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research for inviting me to give this Foundation Day lecture. I have always seen TIFR with awe from afar. Some explanation is in order.
