Issues in Infrastructure Financing in India
I am happy to be here at ASSOCHAM’s Sixth International Summit on Infrastructure financing. Infrastructure plays a crucial role in economic development of a country. In India, too like many other countries, Infrastructure development is a critical aspect of our growth strategy and therefore, the sector gets the importance from all stakeholders commensurate with that role. As you may be aware, Government has announced the target of Rs 25 trillion (US$ 376.53 billion) i

Pioneering Best Practices in Banking: India’s Record
Good evening! 2. In the post-crisis era, the international thinking on banking and finance stands fundamentally changed. Not only did the crisis shake the confidence of all stakeholders in the international financial system but also compelled the regulators and policy makers to review whether their policy framework was sound enough to prevent the outbreak of another crisis of a similar magnitude. From the global consultations, emerged newer and more refined norms of p

Asset Quality of Indian Banks: Way Forward
The Indian banks in general, and the Public Sector Banks (PSBs) in particular, are grappling with the huge stock of stressed assets that has piled up in the system over the years. Any amount of discussion on the whys and what of stressed assets would therefore never be enough, if it enables us to discern what led to this phenomenal build-up of non-performing assets (NPAs) in our system and determine what we should do to solve them, and identify what could be done diff

New paradigm in Banking : Banking is Necessary, Not Banks - Really?
“Banking is necessary, but banks are not”, I am quoting here Bill Gates, what he said as Chairman, Microsoft, way back in 1994. Today, after twenty two years, has his prediction or forewarning come true? I intend to explore this in today’s discussion with you. 2. It is usual for many of us who lecture others to say ‘We are at cross roads’, ‘The Paradigm shifts that are staring us’ etc. That’s because it takes time to discern the trends that are taking place in any sec
