RBI on India and the Global Financial Crisis
The Report on Currency and Finance 2008-09 published by the Reserve Bank of India this month is on the “Global Financial Crisis and the Global Economy.” Well over two-thirds of this 380 page report is about the global crisis itself and does not contain anything new. But about a hundred pages are devoted to the impact of the global crisis on India and to the policy responses in India.
