Thank you for that piece of information by CK Raju, Thrissur on 08 Mar 2009

This statement needs little amplification. What Usha says is that financial crisis is not there in India. A few months down the line, someone else from RBI would say that there is no RBI crisis in India. These are technically correct. The crisis that has gripped the globe is so profound that now each institution is forced to come and utter a statement that gives out an impression that (a) the institution is autonomous and (b) is not linked with the crisis. So the implicit idea is to convey that problems are creation of some other institution and lie beyond the immediate scope of the institute. At least, such confessions, however contested their intentions may be, seem only to imply a true extent of deep seated malaise, the world is gripped with. Finally, Ms Usha, would you please clear one of our profound doubt - if it is true that there was no financial crisis in India, why did Chidambaram pump in money to increase the liquidity of the private banks..

No sign of financial crisis in India: RBI by Mahi on 06 Mar 2009

Same RBI has mentioned six month back that there will be minor effect of recession in India but now recession has become lethal in India. UPA Govt. already increased fiscal deficit and monitory measures are not improving the economical condition. Rupee is depreciating and will depreciate to Rs. 55 per dollar. India is definitely in financial crisis like Japan and Thailand in 1999.

Rupee / Money Siphoners by DA on 08 Mar 2009

RBI will definitely not let rupee appreciate till the elections are over. otherwise all our money siphoners will convert into dollars and send it abroad. By letting rupee slide, it will benifit exporters to gain interms of exchange. By this way, these companies can average their losses which they incurred during 2008 beginning. RBI has some efficient think tank, not like the dumb american regulators who still do no know the extent of losses of their banks.

No Panic by Jeevan Singh Gurung on 06 Mar 2009

i think India doesn't have to panic at this stage , because i think India has made enough money to tackle the current crisis. Govt of India must priotise rural India for over all development and must endorse its capital for Human development so as to become regional superpower .

credit refusal by Ashutosh V Divecha on 06 Mar 2009

Can the RBI explain why credit to industries and SME is refused by most Banks ?

lending rates by Anand on 07 Mar 2009

Banks dont decrease their lending rates when RBI decreases its key rates. But when RBI increase them, they are very quick to raise them. Can't RBI have control over this inconsistency of the commercial banks?
