This study provides empirical evidence of sensitivity of capital inflows to interest rate differential in the India specific context. Using both causality and cointegration analyses, this study suggests that FDI and FII equity flows, which together on a net basis accounted for around three fourth of the total net capital inflows during the 10-year period from 2000-01 to 2009-10, are not sensitive to interest rate differentials.
What is talent? We must define talent. We say that Lata Mangeshkar is a very talented singer or Sachin Tendulkar is a very talented player. No, I withdraw, they are like gods. Let me choose another example. It is common to say that Shreya Ghoshal is a talented singer or Gautam Gambhir is a very talented player. Do we also say that I have got a talented driver, or the carpenter who did the interiors at my home is very talented. While we are certainly talking about talent in respect of Gautam Gambhir and Shreya Ghoshal, it is the skill of the driver and the carpenter that we usually refer to and not their talent.

National policies alone cannot prevent a crisis even if these are the most appropriate unless some of the global challenges are addressed collectively at the global level. The international monetary system has been found inadequate to tackle global imbalances, which had to manifest in the form of crisis or the other at some stage. The significance of the unprecedented and co-ordinated action led by G20 in avoiding another Great Depression needs to be recognised. In view of the difficult years expected, we must sustain the global approach despite domestic differences in policies.
As you are aware, the Reserve Bank of India has been waiving processing charges for retail electronic payment products (NEFT, NECS, RECS and ECS) since the year 2006 in order to promote the usage of these systems. The last waiver was valid up to March 31, 2011. In recent years, the usage of these products has increased considerably. While the originating banks are levying charges on their customers, there has been no compensation paid to the processing centers and destination banks. There has been demand for compensation from the paying banks / processing centres. DPSS (CO) EPPD No. /2649/ 04.03.01/2010-11, Dated- June 02, 2011

The Reserve Bank of India today launched 24th round of the Inflation Expectations Survey with April-June 2011 as the current reference period. The Survey seeks qualitative responses from households on price changes (general prices as well as prices of specific product groups) in the next three months as well as in the next one year and quantitative responses on current, three-month ahead and one-year ahead inflation rates. The Reserve Bank will use results of this Survey as one of the important inputs to the monetary policy formulation.
