Identifying Systemic Risk in Global Markets – Lessons learned from the crisis
In my considered opinion, systemic risks in the global markets can be best identified and measured by looking at some select key parameters which, between them, indicate the extent of asset bubbles and the corresponding under-pricing of risks. In other words, it is not so much high volatility, which is the ‘effect’, that should be a cause for concern as persistent and excessively low volatility, which is the ‘cause’, and was the hallmark of the pre-crisis period.

Banks' Relationship with Customers - Evolving Perspectives
I feel it a privilege to be associated with today's function as a tribute to the late Mr. M.R.Pai, the doyen of consumer activism in India. He successfully championed the cause of consumers, particularly bank depositors, during a different economic setting when the institutional dynamics were different, particularly for the public sector, and customer as a generic entity had not acquired the high pedestal in public discourses and management meetings.

Risk Management in an Open Market Economy
Peter L. Bernstein in his celebrated book Against the Gods writes, 'The revolutionary idea that defines the boundary between modern times and the past is the mastery of risk: the notion that the future is more than a whim of the Gods and that men and women are not passive before nature. Until human beings discovered a way across that boundary, the future was a mirror of the past or the murky domain of oracles and soothsayers who held monopoly over knowledge of anticip
