Giving the keynote address on ‘Opportunities and Challenges of FinTech’, Mr Das noted that FinTech has the potential to reshape the financial services and financial inclusion landscape in India in fundamental ways.

By enabling technologies and managing risks, we can help create a new financial system which is more inclusive, cost-effective and resilient.” Mr Kant noted the need to evolve regulatory and policy paradigms keeping in mind the need of nearly 450 million millennials of India to access institutional credit and charting out the future of fintech in India in light of digital technologies such as block chain and artificial intelligence.

Raghuram Rajan
EXECUTIVE BRIEFINGS POLITICS AND ECONOMY: RAGHURAM RAJAN Adit Jain, IMA India June 2016 A fine innings India’s economy is precariously perched. Its current account deficit has crossed 5% of GDP. Fiscal imprudence over successive years has led to high deficits, which in turn have created sticky retail inflation in the 10-12% range. Foreign exchange reserves are down to USD 280 billion and both industrial output and investment have shrunk. Adding to the misery has been a rude shock dealt by the United States Federal Reserve through an announcement that it proposes to taper its bond buying programme. The ensuing taper tantrum is leading investors to dump emerging market assets fearing the end of cheap money. Consequently, the Rupee has come under a bear hammering shedding around a quarter of its value. Liquidity is tight and analysts are worried about external solvency and a balance of payments crisis. Adding to all of this is a threat, most serious, of a sovereign downgrade by rating agencies. All this happened in the autumn of 2013 when an academic from the University of Chicago was brought in to assume charge as Governor of India’s Reserve Bank. In a few months from now, Raghuram Rajan will complete his three-year term in office. The disquiet within the markets is whether he will get a second term. As this note will argue, he richly deserves it. It is within the bounds of tradition that central bank Governors in India are given extensions and usually serve for two terms. Very few have not done so.
