Financial Sector Reforms and Monetary Policy: The Indian Experience
I. Introduction Since the initiation of reforms in the early 1990s, the Indian economy has achieved high growth in an environment of macroeconomic and financial stability. The period has been marked by broad based economic reform that has touched every segment of the economy. These reforms were designed essentially to promote greater efficiency in the economy through promotion of greater competition. The story of Indian reforms is by now well-documented (e.g., Ahluwal

Coping With Liquidity Management in India: A Practitioner's View
'Liquidity Management in India' is a subject that is not widely discussed but is the bread and butter of daily monetary management. Whereas I was not a monetary specialist prior to coming to the Reserve Bank, I have been able to gather some insights through on-the-job training. It is also an issue of current relevance and appeal. Conduct of monetary policy and management in the context of large and volatile capital flows has proved to be difficult for many countries.

Communications in Central Banks: A Perspective
I. Introduction Communication is part of the professional hazards that central bankers face as a routine. The responses as well as measures are mostly ‘measured’.
