  • Shock RBI Governor Resignation Creates More Uncertainties
    Global Economics & Markets Research Email: [email protected] URL: www.uob.com.sg/research Macro + FX Strategy India: Shock RBI Governor Resignation Creates More Uncertainties Tuesday, 11 December 2018 Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Urjit Patel quit with immediate effect on Monday (10 Dec) citing “personal reasons”, cutting short his three-year term which was to end in September 2019. His resignation came amidst several high-profile clashes between the government and RBI over a number of issues including the extent to which the banks are to recognize non-performing assets, Ho Woei Chen the injection of liquidity into the stressed non-banking finance sector, and higher dividend payment Economist [email protected] to the government to help narrow the fiscal deficit. The unexpected move also came ahead of RBI’s last board meeting scheduled this Friday (14-Dec) where governance changes are expected to be Peter Chia discussed. Senior FX Strategist [email protected] With intensifying concerns over the RBI’s independence, Moody’s has said that any attempt by the government to curtail the central bank’s independence would be credit negative. Fitch has also weighed in to say that Patel’s resignation has raised the macroeconomic risks. The RBI is expected to name an interim governor for the central bank soon with speculation pointing to N. S. Vishwanathan, currently the most senior of the four deputies at the central bank. Potential candidates for the next governor are said to include Vishwanathan, former RBI deputy governor Subir Gokarn as well as several names of current and former Finance Ministry officials.

  • India's Central Bank Governor Urjit Patel Resigns Amid Tense Stand-Off
    1/7/2019 India’s central bank governor Urjit Patel resigns amid tense stand-off | Financial Times Reserve Bank of India India’s central bank governor Urjit Patel resigns amid tense stand-off Reserve Bank of India head has been at odds with the government over its independence Urjit Patel cited ‘personal reasons’ for his decision to quit as central bank governor © Bloomberg Amy Kazmin in New Delhi and Simon Mundy in Mumbai DECEMBER 10, 2018 The head of India’s central bank resigned on Monday in the midst of a bruising battle with the prime minister over the institution’s independence and the direction of the country’s financial sector. Urjit Patel’s exit comes just days ahead of what was likely to be a contentious meeting of the Reserve Bank of India’s governing board, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demands for looser financial and monetary policies were scheduled for debate. Tensions between the RBI and Mr Modi have been rising for months over the central bank’s hawkish monetary policy, use of its mounting reserves and the tough measures taken to clean up bad loans at India’s state-run banks. Mr Modi has been accused of demanding that the RBI ease back on its crackdown out of fear it will hit economic growth during his drive for re-election, particularly as liquidity in non-bank lenders has dried up after a series of defaults at IL&FS, a high-profile finance and infrastructure group. At a 10-hour board meeting last month, Mr Patel made a number of concessions under intense pressure from government nominees, including promising to review restrictions on new lending by banks that already have high levels of bad debt.

  • Leadership Discourse and Policy Analysis at the Helm of Reserve Bank of India
    Indian Public Policy Review 2021, 2(3): 32-40 Continuity or Change: Leadership Discourse and Policy Analysis at the Helm of Reserve Bank of India M S Sriram* Abstract Understanding the evolution of policy over long horizons is an interesting exercise. While it is possible to look at a policy approach ex-ante, many of the decisions of the policy makers are undertaken in response to an emerging situation and several times, there could be initiatives that seemingly have internal contradictions. Additionally, institutions like the Reserve Bank of India would have approaches institutionalised that shape the policy making and thoughts of the leaders at the helm of affairs. Understanding this process through chronological insights and seeing patterns is an exercise that this paper attempts. The paper looks at the speeches delivered by the Governors (and one Deputy Governor) of the RBI to find a pattern and meaning into the series of policy initiatives that the institution is undertaking. In looking at the patterns, the paper tries to build a narrative of an overarching concern that the leaders might have during their tenure. The paper picks up the speeches delivered by leaders at the helm of RBI from 2004 till 2018 and examines the policy discourse to understand the elements of continuity and change. Keywords: Monetary Policy Decisions, RBI Governors, Policy Discourse Publication Date: 07 May 2021 * Faculty member, Centre for Public Policy, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Vol . 2 No. 3 Sriram: Leadership Discourse & Policy Analysis at the Helm of RBI 33 I. Introduction How does one examine the evolution of the policy and regulatory approach of a Central Bank over a period of time? This is an intriguing question.

  • New Central Bank Governor in India
    New Central Bank Governor in India The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Governor, Urjit Patel resigned from his position earlier this week for “personal reasons”. He is the first central bank governor to resign after more than 43 years and has just been replaced by Shaktikanta Das, a figure more aligned to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and likely to accommodate the latter’s policy objectives. Das is set to govern over India’s top financial institution until 2021. As a member of the Economic Affairs Ministry, he had a hand in devising the most central and unpopular policies of the Modi government, namely the General Sales Tax which imposes an average 18% tax rate on most goods and demonetisation which invalidated 86% of the currency notes. These policies mostly hurt small and medium enterprises and caused the loss of more than 2 million jobs in the unregulated sector in urban zones. These developments have been thorns in the side of the Modi government, as the latter generally -but not solely- attracts votes from small businessmen and rural regions of India. This led the government to put the blame of its policy failures on the RBI, which led to a momentous showdown between the government and the central bank, meant to be autonomous. Over the last two years, India’s financial and economic sector saw the resignation of many key figures, who despite leaving for personal reasons, might have good grounds to have left as a reprimand against the government’s creeping foothold on the central bank. In 2016, the famed RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan was not given a second term by the government, something unprecedented in the last two decades.

  • Measuring Monetary Policy Shocks in India
    WP-2021-021 Measuring monetary policy shocks in India Aeimit Lakdawala and Rajeswari Sengupta Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, Mumbai August 2021 Measuring monetary policy shocks in India Aeimit Lakdawala and Rajeswari Sengupta Email(corresponding author): [email protected] Abstract We create new measures of monetary policy shocks for India using high-frequency derivatives data and study their transmission. These shocks capture two distinct dimensions of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) monetary policy announcements. In addition to reacting to surprise changes (or non-changes) in the RBI’s policy rate, financial markets also infer substantial information about the future path of the policy rate from RBI’s communication. We analyze official statements and the corresponding media narrative on prominent RBI announcement dates to help understand how markets use RBI communication to update their expectations. Overall, bond and stock markets react strongly to these monetary shocks, but exhibit notable heterogeneity across governor regimes. Finally, we use the monetary shocks as external instruments to identify the impact on macroeconomic variables in a structural vector autoregression. We find some evidence of the conventional transmission of monetary policy to prices but not to output. Keywords: monetary policy, Reserve Bank of India, event study, monetary transmission JEL Code: E44, E52, E58, G10 Acknowledgements: We thank seminar participants at the International Monetary Fund for helpful comments and suggestions.
