Centrality of banks in the financial system
1. I am delighted to be present here amongst you all on the occasion of the 12th Annual Conference of FIMMDA-PDAI.

Five Frontier Issues in Indian Banking

Perspectives on Financial Sector Strategy
I welcome this initiative by the Asia-Europe Business Forum to organize a discussion on opportunities and challenges for financial services in our respective regions. Virtually all significant debate that is taking place today on financial sector regulation and development, whether in advanced or emerging economies, is placed in the context of the crisis and the role that the financial sector played in it.

Macro-prudential Approach to Regulation - Scope and Issues- Shyamala Gopinath, DG, RBI
1. Explicit pursuit of macroeconomic and financial stability can be said to be the single most significant take away from the recent crisis. More than the specifics, the importance of this mandate lies in decisively effecting a course correction with regard to the approach and philosophy for regulation of the financial system. It is being acknowledged that a macro prudential perspective is critical in designing and pursuing micro prudential regulation of institutions

Preparing Indian Banks for Global Competitiveness : Strategic and Policy Perspectives
Introduction It would be no exaggeration to say that the financial world is a vastly different place after the crisis. Many propositions that might have been taken for granted until it precipitated are being questioned in its wake. One set of these surely has to be about the things that go into making banks globally competitive. The increasing visibility and dominance of multinational financial corporations in the years before the crisis contributed to the perception

Key Note Address at the Panel Session on “Setting new paradigm in regulation”
The global financial crisis was predominantly a first world phenomenon. The fall out in the emerging market economies (EMEs) was mostly through contagion. The level of financial sector development, complexity of financial markets, extent of deregulation and global integration, the degree of leverage of households and financial intermediaries, the nature of business model and quality of supervision determined the impact of the crisis on any institution or jurisdiction.

Financial Crisis - Some Old Questions and Maybe Some New Answers
It would be a privilege for anyone to deliver this lecture to honour the memory of Sir Chintaman D. Deshmukh. The privilege is particularly special for a serving Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. Everyday, as I go to work, I bask in the glory of serving a public institution that is held in such high esteem. 2.

Central Banks must distill Lessons from the Global Crisis and make Concrete Reforms
Central banks have been at the heart of the global financial crisis. They have been blamed for policies and actions that got the world into the crisis; they have been praised for leading the world out of it. Both are fair assessments. Central banks have been a part of the problem and a part of the solution. As the crisis unwinds and recovery takes hold, central banks face a number of issues, of which I will address five.

Financial Regulation and Financial Inclusion – Working Together or at Cross-purposes
The case for financial inclusion is not based on the principle of equity alone – access to affordable banking services is required for inclusive growth with stability. Achieving financial inclusion in a country like India with a large and diverse population with significant segments in rural and unorganised sectors requires a high level of penetration by the formal financial system. Even in areas that are well covered by banks, there are sections of society excluded f
