Financial Stability Mandate of Central Banks Issues in the International and Indian Context
Financial stability has come centre stage in the post crisis scenario. The discourse has been quite broad spectrum - ranging from first principles such as the definition of financial stability to intellectually involved issues like the implication of financial stability for growth and welfare. Although the crisis originated in the advanced economies, we, in emerging economies too have been affected by it, and indeed by much more than we had thought possible. This cont

Monetary policy in a world with macroprudential policy
Introduction Ladies and gentlemen, it is a privilege to be able to speak today to this distinguished group of Governors. As for my subject, I will focus on how monetary policy might need to adjust to the implementation of new macroprudential frameworks. To speak on this topic in India is almost presumptuous, given that the Reserve Bank of India is among those central banks, mainly Asian ones, that have successfully combined both monetary policy and macroprudential mea

Policy Discipline and Spillovers in an Inter-connected Global Economy
The interconnected world is not new. We have been living in it for some time. For half a century, exports, international capital flows, and foreign direct investment have been growing much faster than GDP, binding economies ever more tightly together. In many ways, this process has been a tremendous force for good. My own country, India, is testament to that. Integration with the world contributed to growth, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. But i

Central Bank Governance Issues : Some RBI Perspectives
Thank you for this opportunity to speak on some central bank governance issues from the perspective of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). I will raise some specific issues. But before getting into them, I want to make two broad comments about the mandate of the Reserve Bank and our systems of autonomy and accountability.

Global Challenges, Global Solutions: Some Remarks
Mr. Chairman 1. Recent experience suggests that globalization offers incredible opportunities but also poses immense challenges. If the years before the global financial crisis - the period of the so called ‘Great Moderation’ - demonstrated the benefits of globalization, the devastating toll of the crisis showed its costs. Just as in the case of an economy, there are price setters and price takers, in the international economy too, there are economies which shape the

Sustainability of Economic Growth and Controlling Inflation: The Way Forward
It is my pleasure to speak at FICCI’s National Executive Committee Meeting this year. As many observers have been highlighting, after a relatively long phase of benign, growth-friendly macroeconomic conditions, things have begun to look somewhat hostile on the macroeconomic front. The most significant manifestation of this is the acceleration of inflation, a trend that was visible even before the impact of the financial crisis was felt in late 2008, but which very qui

Lessons for Monetary Policy from the Global Financial Crisis : An Emerging Market Perspective
The global financial crisis has challenged the conventional views on the role of monetary policy. Post-crisis, the weight of arguments tilts towards acceptance of financial stability as an objective of central bank or monetary policy. However, the key challenge is to evolve a consistent framework for implementation. While interest rate can continue as the dominant instrument for implementing monetary policy, supplementing it with other quantity or macro-prudential ins
