Description

This short introduction provides a bird's-eye view of the broad contours of monetary policy in India over the period 1934 to current times. From economic planning and bank nationalization, to monetary targeting and financial sector reforms—the book shows how Indian monetary policy has been both innovative and diverse by responding to the requirements of different periods. It also examines the new challenges to monetary policy in the context of globalization, such as the spurt of capital inflows and the global financial crisis.

‘Ray unravels the secrets of the inner temple of money, skilfully and competently demystifying and deconstructing monetary policy in the Indian context.’
—M.D. Patra, Adviser-in-Charge, Monetary Policy Department, Reserve Bank of India, Mumbai
