Danger Posed by Shadow Banking Systems to the Global Financial System - The Indian Case
What is Shadow Banking? Shadow banking is a universal phenomenon, although it takes on different forms. In advanced economies where the financial system is more matured, the form of shadow banking is more of risk transformation through securitization; while in the economically backward economies where financial market is still in a developing stage, the activities are more of supplementary to banking activities.

Strategy adopted for Financial Inclusion
One of the major challenges for next decade or more to banks in the country is to capture the banking business of over 50% population of this country of over 1.2 billion people. Poor people need to be provided with access to financial products at low transaction cost. They need to be provided assistance on the demand side (in terms of financial awareness and literacy) as well as on the supply side (in the form of availability of customized financial products).
