The Reserve Bank of India 1951-1967

by Dr. G. Balachandran

This is a comprehensive history of the Reserve Bank of India, the country's central bank and its most important financial institution. It is based on unrestricted access to the Bank's records. The volume spans the 1950s, when India embarked on planned economic development, and brings its account of the central bank's activities in the sphere of public policy up to the crisis years of the mid-1960s. Not only was the Reserve Bank an active agent and participant in the process of planned development, the institution was also greatly transformed by its demands and challenges.

Therefore, while surveying the Bank's discharge of its role as the monetary policy authority, The Reserve Bank of India, 1951-1967 details its role in mobilizing resources for Central and State Governments, regulating the banking system, and establishing an institutional infrastructure for agricultural and long-term industrial credit in India. It also covers developments in India's external sector, including the country's efforts to raise long-term foreign assistance for development and the rupee devaluation of 1966. The book concludes with an elaborate survey of evolving relations between the central bank and Central and State Governments in India during these two decades.

Contents : Introduction - Monetary and Credit Policy - Financing Governments - Rural Credit - Towards a State Banking Sector - Banking Developments - Financing Industry - The External Sector - The Bank and Governments - Appendices - Selected Documents - Index

The book is essential reading for bankers, students, researchers, and teachers of economics and modern Indian history and also of wider general interest.

The Volume contains 32 select speeches delivered by thirteen Governors, starting from the first Indian Governor Shri Chintaman Deshmukh to Dr. C. Rangarajan. These speeches provide insight on various topics of contemporary economic importance and germane to central banking as also administration of the Indian Fiancial System. The thoughts of the veteran central bankers embody information on various economic issues confronted by the Indian economy in general with specific intonation on the relevant issues to be addressed by the Central Bank from time to time. The book is an invaluable and exclusive collection of the thoughts of the Central Bankers who played an important role in the development of Indian economy. Besides the speeches, the Volume contains rare portraits of the Governors printed elegantly in colour.

EXTERNAL DEBT MANAGEMENT: ISSUES, LESSON AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES

India was among the few emerging markets which were relatively unaffected by the Asian crisis mainly on account of appropriate macro-policies and prudent debt management. Nonetheless, the lessons of the Asian crisis should not be lost sight of. Against this background, the World Bank, the Ministry of Finance (MoF), Government of India, and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) jointly organised a seminar on External Debt Management: Issues, Lessons and Preventive Measures for placing in a perspective the lessons of the recent crisis, and for generating an informed debate on the debt management capability of the Indian economy at Kovalam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Participants at the seminar belonged to the academic world, the World Bank, the Commonwealth Secretariat, financial institutions, corporate sector, the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India. The seminar deliberated on four broad themes (a) Managing External Debt: Lessons from International Experience, (b) Issues in External Debt Management, (c) External Debt Management: A Corporate Perspective and (d) Debt Database Management Issues.
