Financial Reforms in an Endogenous Money Economy

Vol. 51, Issue No. 12, 19 Mar, 2016
Vineet Kohli

An examination of the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy leaves little doubt that India can be suitably characterised as an endogenous money economy. In an endogenous money environment, financial reforms will prove ineffective in stimulating credit supply to large commercial borrowers. They may, however, prove counterproductive by sharpening the credit constraints faced by agricultural and other petty producers in the economy.

Strengthening Dynamic Role of Monetary Policy

Vol. 38, Issue No. 34, 23 Aug, 2003
EPW Research Foundation

The repo rate exceeding the overnight call money rate continuously for months and the forward premia for the US dollar in the domestic forex market dipping below interest rate differentials may be said to reflect loss of effectiveness of monetary instruments.

EPW Research Foundation

Even as banks have come to possess a growing share of the community's financial resources, it is the absence of dynamism shown by them in expanding their credit base regionally, functionally and by the size of borrowers that continues to hurt the process of domestic investment and growth. It is necessary for them in a competitive environment to introduce more dynamic instruments of lending and enhance organisational capabilities to shoulder more nuanced lending practices, both of which are missing in the current banking scenario.

Reforming Indian Debt Markets

Vol. 37, Issue No. 05, 02 Feb, 2002
R H Patil

While equity markets in India have got radically transformed since the 1991-92 securities scam, the government securities markets have not changed very much except that the Reserve Bank of India has significantly improved the settlement process. Recognising the need for introducing transparency and to reform the secondary markets in government securities and money market instruments, the RBI will soon operationalise the Negotiated Dealing System (NDS). Simultaneously, the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL), promoted by major banks, financial institutions and primary dealers, will be a key market infrastructure to significantly improve market efficiency and integrity. Together with the NDS, the CCIL will introduce major reforms in the way the government securities and money markets function today.
