US Monetary Policy (1)
•Volatility in monetary policy in advanced economies
•Large volatility in capital flows to EMEs
•Again very loose MP in US – likely surge in capital flows to EMEs?
Global Financial Crisis (5)
US Monetary Policy (2)
•US Monetary policy too loose during 2002-04; aggregate
demand exceeded output; large current a/c deficit;
mirrored in large surpluses in China and elsewhere.

Differences Between Financial Crisis in
US/Europe and India (4)
 India’s Approach to Managing Financial
Stability (1)


Current account: Full, but gradual opening up
Capital account and financial sector: More
calibrated approach towards opening up.
Equity flows encouraged;
 debt flows subject to ceilings and some end-use
restrictions.


Capital outflows: progressively liberalized.
Differences Between Financial Crisis in
US/Europe and India (5)
 India’s Approach to Managing Financial
Stability (2)

Financial sector, especially banks, subject to
prudential regulation
 both liquidity and capital.
 prudential limits on banks’ inter-bank liabilities in
relation to their net worth;
 asset-liability management guidelines take
cognizance of both on and off balance sheet items
 Basel II framework: guidelines issued.
 Dynamic provisioning
 NBFCs: regulation and supervision tightened - to
reduce regulatory arbitrage.

 Continuing increase in real GDP growth - Interregnum during the 1970s
 Secular uptrend in domestic saving and investment -investment largely financed
by domestic savings
 Continuation of growth in domestic savings necessary; fiscal prudence
6. Saving-Investment Gap
Medium-term Issues and Challenges (2)
Fiscal Policy (1)
 Combined fiscal deficit in India
 Even before the recent setback: very high
by international standards
 contribute to the persistence of an interest
rate differential with the rest of the world,
 constrains progress towards full capital
account convertibility.
 self imposed rule based fiscal correction
needs to be consolidated and carried
forward.
Medium-term Issues and Challenges (3)
Fiscal Policy (2)
 Sustained interest rate differential also
connected with the existence of a
persistent inflation differential with the
rest of the world.
 A key challenge is to further reduce
inflation expectations toward
international levels.
Medium-term Issues and Challenges (4)
Monetary Policy (1)
 A continuous need to adapt monetary
management to the emerging needs of a fast
growing and increasingly open economy.
 Financial deepening and increasing monetisation.
 expansion of monetary aggregates departs
from their traditional relationship with real
GDP growth.
 task of monetary management: manage such
growth without endangering price or financial
stability.
Medium-term Issues and Challenges (5)
Monetary Policy (2)
 Further development of financial markets
 Large capital inflows in recent years
 Reserve Bank’s ability to manage the
impossible trinity
 Issues for monetary policy
 current account balance as a good guide to
evaluation of the appropriate level of an
exchange rate?
 to what extent should the capital account
influence the exchange rate?
 implications of large current account
deficits for the real economy?
Medium-term Issues and Challenges (6)
External Sector (1)
 Optimal response to the large and volatile
capital flows is a combination of (CGFS, 2009)







sound macroeconomic policies
prudent debt management
exchange rate flexibility
effective management of the capital account
accumulation of appropriate levels of reserves as
self-insurance and
development of resilient domestic financial markets
combination is country-specific; no “one size fits
all”.
Medium-term Issues and Challenges (7)
External Sector (2)
 Indian policy approach to CAL
 Distinction between debt and equity
flows
 Higher inflation and interest rates in
India vis-a-vis advanced economies
 Liberalisation of debt flows can lead to
arbitrage flows
 Ceilings on debt flows appropriate
Medium-term Issues and Challenges (8)
Financial Sector

Commercial banks robust

Financial sector robust
Monetary policy – sufficient instruments, flexible
Corporate sector not too leveraged – second round
of restructuring going on – productivity gains
Foreign direct investment buoyant
Agriculture improving
Growth domestically financed
Indian economy should be able to recover fast
and return to 9%+ growth path
