Research on Money and Finance in the Indian Economy

IGIDR, Mumbai, India

Research on money and finance in India gained importance after the reforms, initiated in 1991. Changes in the monetary regime and institutions, more openness, development of debt and equity markets, initiation of the derivative market, banking sector reforms, and several other measures raised new questions and policy issues.

This, together with closer linkage to international research in a more open economy has rejuvenated monetary and financial research in India. With the support of the Reserve Bank of India, IGIDR took the initiative in bringing together researchers in this area, to encourage rigorous work, made relevant by interchange with practitioners and policy-makers. The first conference in money and finance was held in 1998.
