Some Reflections on Micro Credit and How a Public Credit Registry Can Strengthen It

Dr. Viral V. Acharya, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India

Sometimes when I sit down to write down a new set of remarks, the same old thoughts cross my mind, a bit like one’s favorite songs that are so deeply entrenched in the psyche that at the end of a long day when one is reflecting on the subject, they start playing all over again, without any reason and without any conscious decision to rewind to them. In my case, a few striking images flash across my eyes. I have tried in what follows to describe these images and what t

On the Importance of Independent Regulatory Institutions – The Case of the Central Bank

Dr. Viral V. Acharya, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India

No analogy is perfect; yet, analogies help convey things better. At times, a straw man has to be set up to make succinctly a practical or even an academic point. Occasionally, however, real life examples come along beautifully to make a communicator’s work easier. Let me start today with an antecedent from 2010 as it is particularly apposite for the theme of my talk: “My time at the central bank is up and that is why I have decided to leave my post definitively, with

Prompt Corrective Action: An Essential Element of Financial Stability Framework

Dr. Viral V. Acharya, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India

Abstract This talk explains why the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is an essential element of its financial stability framework.

Detailing the mandatory and discretionary actions under the RBI's Revised PCA framework, it compares and

Preventive Vigilance – The Key Tool of Good Governance at Public Sector Institutions

Dr. Urjit R. Patel, Governor, Reserve Bank of India

‘He is most free from danger, who even when safe, is on his guard.’ - Publilius Syrus (1st Century B.C.)

It is an accepted norm of organising human societies that with the right to liberty comes good governance, the latter being designed around laws (formal governance) or norms (informal governance) restricting excessive exertions of the right to liberty: where individual actions are deemed to create adverse spillovers (‘negative externalities’) on the rest of the society, laws or norms – backed by an enforcement machinery – draw a line as to what is acceptable human behaviour. Governance could be for the society as a whole or an individual firm or entity or a group of entities (e.g., the public sector). An important term we all come across in our functioning, especially in the public sector, is Vigilance, which is the essence of what all of you are attempting to achieve at the Central Vigilance Commission, established in 1964 by the Government of India, to address corruption in the government sector.

I am happy to be here in this edition of Sahakar Setu organised by the Gujarat Urban Cooperative Banks Federation.

The Federation has taken several measures particularly in adoption of technology by t
