India - Managing the Impact of the Global Financial Crisis
Introduction 1. Less than a year ago, much of what has happened in the Indian economy since last October would have been hard to anticipate. I recall, around this time last year, the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) were, what are the factors that put India on a high growth trajectory and what can we do to remain there? Today, the FAQ is, when and how do we get back on to the high growth trajectory? The sharp turn around in the FAQs summarizes in a nutshell the

Technology in Banks – Responding to the Emerging Challenges
Ladies and gentlemen, a very good morning. A central banker addressing an impressive gathering of technology experts on a topic which is their very own – to say the least, is a formidable task. In the current global financial context, though, I may not be surprised if many central banks, as regulators of banking and other financial institutions get more engaged with the technology aspects of the regulated institutions’ operations. 2. It is not hard to miss the role pl

Introduction 1. It is a great delight for me to be here at the conclusion of this seminar on Payment and Settlement Systems aimed at improving our understanding of the way forward on this vital segment of central bank infrastructure.

Retail Payment Systems – Select Issues
Ladies and Gentlemen, 1.

Lessons for Financial Policymaking - Interpreting the Dilemmas
I was really struggling to select a theme for today’s address. I intended it to be relevant but not repetitive, comprehensive but not broad brush, having a policymaker’s perspective but not too uni-dimensional. Finally the theme I zeroed down on emerged out of this very exercise of the balancing act - the dilemmas and conflicts thrown up for the policymakers by the paradoxical character of recent turn of events in the global financial markets.

Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on India Collateral Damage and Response
Global outlook 1. The global economic outlook deteriorated sharply over the last quarter. In a sign of the ferocity of the down turn, the IMF made a marked downward revision of its estimate for global growth in 2009 in purchasing power parity terms – from its forecast of 3.0 per cent made in October 2008 to 0.5 per cent in January 2009. In market exchange rate terms, the downturn is sharper – global GDP is projected to actually shrink by 0.6 per cent. With all the adv

Some Reflections on the recent global financial turmoil – an Indian perspective
Every year, this forum provides an opportunity to collectively review and analyse the developments of the past year in the forex market. But the past year has been like never before and now the focus is on the impact of the financial crisis on the real economy.

Lessons from the Global Financial Crisis with special reference to Emerging Market Economies and India
1. Since the collapse of the leading US investment banks in August-September 2008, there has been a breakdown of trust in inter-bank and inter-institutional lending. Given that this kind of extreme risk perception will be reversed only slowly, the full resolution of the crisis will inevitably take time. 2. Additionally, there is the problem of contagion – across markets, across institutions and across countries. Each day, there is news of the crisis spreading to a new
