  • Rundheersing Bheenick: Clearing Cheques – Clearing the Arteries of Business and Finance
    Rundheersing Bheenick: Clearing cheques – clearing the arteries of business and finance Welcoming remarks by Mr Rundheersing Bheenick, Governor of the Bank of Mauritius, on the occasion of the Launching Ceremony of the Cheque Truncation System, Bank of Mauritius, Port Louis, 6 September 2011. * * * What a fine spectacle this is! To find the Bank of Mauritius and all the commercial banks in our jurisdiction – we have twenty of them gathered together on the same platform, looking in the same direction, with – in their midst − the top political and economic leadership of the country – the Prime Minister and his Minister of Finance, who, I cannot help observing, look perfectly at ease in our company. What a special symbol this is of the public/private partnership we enjoy as part of Mauritius Inc! I said “fine spectacle” because, these days, around the world, it is more usual to find bank regulators and their regulatees at each other’s throats, engaged in mutual recrimination. Over the waters, we see legislators and other policy-makers hauling bankers, labeled as greedy and irresponsible, if not downright criminal, over hot coals, breathing fire and brimstone and threatening to make up for past legislative and regulatory laxity by swinging the axe of overregulation. Judging from the language and the tone of the outrage and condemnation of bankers, it is a wonder that no bankers have yet been attacked by lynch mobs. In comparison, our own occasional grumbles are more in the nature of gentle parental raps on the knuckles of occasionally wayward children although one could be readily excused for thinking otherwise as our inventive press corps has made an art form of blowing up tiny molehills into towering Everests.

  • Banking, Electronic Payments and Road Ahead
    H R Khan: Banking, electronic payments and road ahead Special address by Shri H R Khan, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, at the FICCI-IBA (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry – Indian Banks’ Association) Conference on “Global Banking: Paradigm Shift”, Mumbai, 25 August 2011. * * * The speaker gratefully acknowledges the assistance provided by Shri. G. Srinivas, General Manager and Shri. Saswat Mahapatra, Asst. General Manager in the preparation of this address. Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen I am glad to be in your midst today to share my thoughts on “Banking, electronic payments and the road ahead”. In fact the subject of my address very well fits the theme of the conference “Global banking: Paradigm shift” and its emphasis on productivity excellence. I am sure the experts whom you would have heard and interacted with over the last two days would have shared their thoughts on the changes and challenges that banking in India and globally is undergoing and has undergone over these last few momentous years, leading as it were to a paradigm shift in the way banks are doing their business and retaining and increasing their customer base. The basic underlying current that runs through this changing landscape is the ever increasing reliance on technology to cater to the needs of customers and process vast number of transactions including payment transactions. In fact as you all are aware, payment and settlement systems form the backbone of any economy. They are the conduits or the arteries for conducting trade, commerce and other forms of economic activities including remittances in any country.

  • Banking: the Interest in BPM
    Banking: The Interest in BPM Banking case studies, surveys, and related studies around the globe reveal the popularity of BPM within the banking industry. Banks have reported a 40%-50% improvement in cycle time, efficiency, and cost, due to BPM adoption [1]. Account opening processes, compliance to regulations and standards, and the automation of paper-based processes are some of the more common scenarios for BPM adoption in banks. Adoption of BPM by Indian banks is along similar lines, with some unique characteristics and challenges. The banking reforms in India, in line with the World Trade Organization (WTO) requirements, will result in large transformations in the Indian Banking industry. Starting in April 2009, the second phase of the reforms will open up the Indian banking sector to foreign banks and provide greater freedom, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. In this Column we explore the scenario for Indian banking, with its unique challenges, and we will look at a specific current BPM opportunity related to check processing. Banking in India: A Brief Perspective The Indian banking infrastructure has grown significantly over the last decade with over 56,000 branches covering public sector banks (PSBs) and a mix of Indian private players, MNC (multi- national) banks, and smaller regional players [2]. The regulatory system, which is one of the strong points of the Indian banking industry, is governed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Since the economic liberalization of the 1990s, the banking industry, which opened up to private players, has been significantly transformed, with rapidly evolving regulations, high competition, demanding customers, and technology adoption raising the bar of performance.
