Speeches & Media Interactions

Moderator: Thank you, Governor. Lots of interesting comments you made in your speech. I would like to start with what you said towards the end, where you said, in your interaction with some bank CEOs, they had some areas of concern and I remember at the time when the RBI had raised the risk weights on unsecured loans, you had called it a pre-emptive measure. So, are there any other areas which make you a little bit worried and where you will now direct your lens with more intensity?
