Research Scholar, M.J.R.P. University, Jaipur Rajasthan-India 2. Former Associate Professor Economics, Rajasthan University Jaipur & M.D.S. University, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract India has a long history of financial intermediation. The first bank in India was set up in 1770 and named as Bank of Hindustan. The earliest attempt to establish a Central Bank was in 1773. India was also a fore runner in terms of development of financial markets. By independence, India had a fairly well developed commercial banking system in existence. In 1951, there were 566 private commercial banks in India with 4151 branches, the majority of which were confined to large towns and cities. The Reserve Bank of India (the Central Bank of the Country) was established in 1935 as a shareholders institution like the Bank of England. The Reserve Bank of India became a state owned institution from January 1, 1949. It was only in this year that the Banking Regulation Act was enacted to provide a framework for regulation and supervision of commercial banking system. The institution building and development of the financial system was propelled by the planners after independence. The vision was to ensure that sectoral needs of credit to agriculture and industry were met in an organised manner. The RBI was vested with the major, responsibility of developing the institutional infrastructure in the financial system.

    News Analysis (17 Oct, 2018) drishtiias.com/current-affairs-news-analysis-editorials/news-analysis/17-10-2018/print UN Report on FDI India attracted USD 22 billion of FDI flows in the first half of 2018, according to a UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report- ‘Investment Trends Monitor’. The report highlighted that said that in South Asia, India's FDI inflows contributed to the subregion’s 13% rise in FDI in the first half of the year. The report also states that the global foreign direct investment dropped by 41% in the same period due to tax reforms carried out by the US administration. These reforms have encouraged big firms in the US to bring back earnings from abroad, specially from Western European countries. The decline in FDI is happening mainly in wealthy, industrialized nations, especially in North America and Western Europe. The developing economies saw FDI flows declining “only slightly” in the first half of the year by 4%, compared with 2017. Other factors that have led to this decline are uncertainty about the detail and impact of tax reform and the potential impact of unresolved international trade disputes; such as the tit-for-tat tariffs imposed by the United States and China. In contrast to the overall decline in foreign investment, the report highlights a 42% increase in “greenfield” projects. These initiatives can involve building operations in a foreign country from scratch and they are seen an indicator of future trends. China was the largest recipient of FDI, attracting an estimated $ 70 billion in inflows in the first half of the year, followed by the UK with $ 65.5 billion, the US with $ 46.5 billion.
