This  Statement sets out various developmental and regulatory policy measures  relating to (i) Financial Markets ; (ii) Cybersecurity ; and (iii) Payment  Systems. I. Financial  Markets 1. Introduction of forward contracts in Government  securities 

Over the past few years, the Reserve Bank has been expanding the suite of interest rate derivative products available to market participants to manage their interest rate risks. In addition to Interest Rate Swaps, products such as Interest Rate Options, Interest Rate Futures, Interest Rate Swaptions, Forward Rate Agreements, etc. are available to market participants. We have been receiving feedback about the need to allow forward contracts in Government securities to enable further market development.  Such forward contracts will enable long-term investors such as  insurance funds to manage their interest rate risk across interest rate cycles.  They will also enable efficient pricing of derivatives that use bonds as underlying instruments. Draft directions in this regard were issued in December 2023. The final directions, taking into account the public feedback, will be issued shortly.
