Regulation and Risk Management: Implementing Basel II
It is indeed an honour to be amongst you on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of The South Indian Bank Ltd. Today we remember the founders and pay homage to their vision and drive that led to the establishment of this bank. It is not only a day to feel proud, it is a day to reflect, a day to share, and a day to celebrate.

The topic for today’s conclave is 'Technology Solutions for Business Transformation' and I have chosen to speak on 'A BIT (Banking and Information Technology) of Tomorrow'.

India among the leaders of 21st century: Fifth L.K. Jha Memorial Lecture

Coping With Liquidity Management in India: A Practitioner's View
'Liquidity Management in India' is a subject that is not widely discussed but is the bread and butter of daily monetary management. Whereas I was not a monetary specialist prior to coming to the Reserve Bank, I have been able to gather some insights through on-the-job training. It is also an issue of current relevance and appeal. Conduct of monetary policy and management in the context of large and volatile capital flows has proved to be difficult for many countries.
