Abstract

The paper lays out a consistent frame work for monetary management in the context of excess capital inflows. There is an urgent need for developing competitive, open and well regulated markets for (a) long term debt (b) rupee futures and forwards, and (c) interest rate /credit risk products, so that economic agents can hedge their exposure in an efficient market with low transaction costs. [Working Paper No. 2/2007-DEA]
