    Changes in Indain Financial System Since 1991

    As the economy grows and becomes more sophisticated, the banking sector has to develop parallely in a manner that it supports and stimulates such growth. With increasing global integration, the Indian banking system and financial system has as a whole had to be strengthened so as to be able to compete. India has had around two decade of financial sector reforms during which there has been substantial transformation and liberalization of the whole financial system.. Until the beginning of the 1990s, the state of the financial sector in India could be described as a classic example of “financial repression” ( MacKinnon and Shaw). The sector was characterized by administered interest rates, large pre-emption of resources by the authorities and extensive micro-regulations directing the major portion of the flow of funds to and from financial intermediaries, segmented and underdeveloped financial markets coupled with lack of instruments. While the true health of financial intermediaries, most of them public sector entities, was masked by relatively opaque accounting norms and limited disclosure, there were general concerns about their viability. Insurance companies– both life and nonlife - were all publicly owned and offered very little product choice. There were very complex regulations and extensive restrictions on new equity issues in security market. There was very little transparency and depth in the secondary market trading of such securities. Interest rates on government securities, the predominant segment of fixed-income securities, were decided through administration authorities. The market for such securities was a captive one where the players were mainly financial intermediaries, who had to invest in government securities to fulfill high statutory reserve requirements. There was little…

    Adr / Gdr in India

    The Indian economy is the second fastest growing economy in the world after China with a growth rate of 6.5%. India seems to have become an investor’s haven with high returns on investments for foreign Institutional investors. Indian companies are recording higher profits and are gaining global recognition because of operations in several countries. However, for international presence, Indian companies need funds from time to time to expand their business. Companies either raise funds from the domestic market or through international market. For international funding, the most popular source amongst the Indian companies in the recent times has been American Depository Receipts (ADR) and Global Depository Receipts (GDR). The Finance Ministry has projected inflows of $4.5 billion through the ADR/GDR/FCCB (Foreign Currency Convertible Bond) route during the current fiscal year.

    Literature Review of Depository Participants

    Though the Indian capital market is over 100 years old, it continues mainly as a market for equity related products. Debt is more or less financed through banks and financial institutions, although in the recent past, financial markets are playing an increasingly significant role. Even the Government securities market essentially consists of primary issues and inter-institutional trades.However, due to a variety of institutional and regulatory reasons, the Indian debt market has not been able to achieve even a fraction of its true potential.Although an exemption in stamp duty may appear to be against the interests of State Governments – owing to a loss in revenue – the resultant increase in liquidity will go a long way in improving their fund raising efforts as also of their state financial institutions and municipalities for infrastructure projects. The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) has already taken up this matter with the State Governments. NSDL has requested for a revenue- neutral policy change which will imply the levying of a one-time charge at the time of issue and eliminating duty at the time of transfer.This research paper explain different advantages whichdebt market participants will enjoy if they join the NSDL…

    The Role of Money Market in the Econmi Growth of Nigeria

    The financial markets are types of markets designed for the creation and disposition of financial assets. There are two sections of the financial markets in Nigeria, namely: money market and capital market (Central Bank of Nigeria-CBN, 2004; 2007). A financial asset is created when one party in exchange for cash issues a receipt of acknowledgement which entitles the holder a claim of pecuniary nature against future interests of the issuer. Financial assets fall into three general categories namely: a) Money – issued by the Central Bank of a country on behalf of the Government of the country as paper currency and coins; b) Debt – issued by corporate and Government units; and c) Shares – issued by companies. Investment that promotes liquidity and gives immediate income requires short-term funding and varies from few hours and one year. Capital market is a collection of institutions set up for the granting of medium and long term loans (Oloyede, 1999). Unlike the money market, it is a market for government securities, corporate bonds, the mobilization and utilization of long-term funds for development – the long term end of the financial system. One of the greatest achievements of the CBN since it was established in July, 1959 has been the gradual development of the financial system. The system consists primarily of the money market for short term lending and borrowing as well as capital market for long term funding. To Oloyede (1999) organized money market is a market for short-term investible fund where short…
