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.
