Regulators’ Eyes on Financial Institutions
Regulators need to keep on top of banks, says Dr. Y V ReddyAs we move from a world based on relationships to one based on transactions, can our banks be far behind? Indeed, banking has been transformed, perhaps unrecognisably, and regulators and customers are taking notice.In the 1970s, a visit to the bank meant face-to-face time, assistance with problems, financial advice, and often just a friendly chat with your banker who you knew and trusted. Today, many customers

Central Banks and Risk Management: Pursuing Financial Stability
I have chosen to speak on "Financial Stability" for a number of reasons. Although financial stability has always been of concern to central banks, it is a relatively new concept in terms of the widespread attention being given to it in recent years. I thought it would be useful to discuss why it has become so important to central banks. Achieving this understanding would also help in explaining some of the behaviour of central banks.

The risks that emerge from the increased variety and complexities of banking business, as well as from the various new drivers of growth has pushed the contours of risk management in banks much beyond what would probably have existed in the more traditional forms of banking activity of accepting deposits and lending in relatively stable environments.

It is indeed heartening to see a well functioning and sound bank in the otherwise none too rosy co-operative sector. In fact, there could have been no better tribute to the memory of your great founder Sheth Shantaram Mangesh Kulkarni than to turn in a solid performance year after year, and also at the same time becoming a technologically savvy institution.

Corporate Governance: Towards Best Practices*
Corporate governance is increasingly demanding our attention and has moved centrestage. The Enron and WorldCom scandals in the U.S have amply demonstrated the necessity of having a system of corporate governance even in the developed world. In a liberalising and deregulating country like India, corporate governance is all the more important. In this context, it is indeed heartening to note that Bankers’ conference is devoting a full session on "corporate governance".

Issues in Bank Regulation and Supervision*
FICCI has been in the forefront of creating a platform for healthy debate and discussion leading to responsible actions. I would like to thank FICCI for inviting me to speak at this Forum especially as there are several high level functionaries who have travelled great distances to be with us on this occasion.

Ownership and Governance in Private Sector Banks in India
I am grateful to the Confederation of Indian Industries to arrange a seminar on a subject of great importance today. This gives me an opportunity to discuss the issues with various stakeholders.

Retail Banking : Challenges Ahead in Distribution Channels in Urban/Rural India - Remarks
The promise of lower transaction costs, increased sales productivity, and more convenient service has lured banks into setting up new delivery channels. Earlier, vast brick and mortar branch network has been considered as an inherent advantage of established banks and new entrants were at huge disadvantage vis-à-vis the established players in terms of customer reach.
