Post-Crisis: The New Normal
The aftermath of the recent global financial crisis bears testimony to the fact that impact of the turmoil is severe and the recovery therefrom is protracted, resulting in significant losses in output and employment for an extended period of time.

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.

Volatility in Capital Flows: Some Perspectives
As the crisis is ebbing, capital inflows into emerging market economies (EMEs) have resumed - a consequence of a global system awash with liquidity, the assurance of low interest rates ruling in advanced economies over ‘an extended period’ and the prospects of robust growth in EMEs. According to the IMF, net private financial flows to emerging and developing economies increased from US$ 254 billion in 2006 to US$ 689 billion in 2007 and then declined, at the height of

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.
