Retail Banking : Challenges Ahead in Distribution Channels in Urban/Rural India - Remarks
The promise of lower transaction costs, increased sales productivity, and more convenient service has lured banks into setting up new delivery channels. Earlier, vast brick and mortar branch network has been considered as an inherent advantage of established banks and new entrants were at huge disadvantage vis-à-vis the established players in terms of customer reach. However, post 1990s new players are effectively taking on the branch network advantage of the establis

Banking and Trade Finance Inaugural Address
I am indeed privileged to be invited to inaugurate this conference and especially so, as this is the first time that the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission Meeting is taking place in India. The contribution made by ICC in standardisation is well-known but perhaps what is not so well-known is that the ICC also contributes to making business policy by publishing policy statements and reports and laying down guidelines, goals and rules.

A leftist in his student days in England, Mohan Kumaramangalam was a leading light of Mrs. Gandhi's cabinet. His enduring contribution was t

Transforming Indian Banking: In Search of a Better Tomorrow
The significant transformation of the banking industry in India is clearly evident from the changes that have occurred in the financial markets, institutions and products. While deregulation has opened up new vistas for banks to augment revenues, it has entailed greater competition and consequently greater risks. Cross-border flows and entry of new products, particularly derivative instruments, have impacted significantly on the domestic banking sector, forcing banks
