Re: Indo-UK News and Discussion - April 2013
London will continue to do well in FX trading, all pairs/currencies, but inspite of the huge volumes, that business has wafer thin margins. It will lose it's status as a Euro Clearing Center for Euro securities, because the ECB does not want any euro clearing done outside the Eurozone. (Quite a con...

Re: Sunni Terrorist Fragments of Unstable Pakistan-Jan 24, 2
With 54.5B$ total investment, once the Gwadar corridor is complete. Retaking PoK will be very very difficult me thinks. Best would be to make these projects nonstarters or make the progress painfully difficult that they are rolled back or left unfinished. Once they are complete, what are the chance...

Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Aug 26 2015
So are we saying debt investors are attracted to India only because inflation is under control ? I don't think so in the least....it is a combination of both strong monetary policy that has kept inflation under control (for which the RBI deserves credit) and India over the last 15 years having emer...

Re: Managing Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
So if you read through that whole thing, the last sentence conveys the punch: Back off or we will sell US Treasury bonds. There goes the budget for the F-35 - 3 trillion dollars. I have seen variations of this arguments many times before but I don't think it makes much sense, at least in the curren...

Re: PRC Economy - New Reflections : April 20 2015
Good interview with Anne Stevenson-Yang: http://www.chinafile.com/reporting-opinion/features/why-beijings-troubles-could-get-lot-worse I’d be shocked if China is currently growing at a rate above, say, 4%, and any growth at all is coming from financial services, which ultimately depend on sustained ...

Someone on the forum (this thread?) recommended The Motion Mountain book.

Re: Indian Economy - News & Discussion Oct 12 2013
If it is really a "quanto" product like you say it is, then the first thing the RBI should do is BAN it. The buyer in a quanto is insulated from currency risks, which means, the bond seller (here the IR and hence the govt) takes that risk, even if the underlying is in rupees. Not in this ...

Interesting, thanks.

Re: Indian Economy - News & Discussion Oct 12 2013
They're still subject to RBI regulation, right ? No, they won't be. The RBI's wants to prevent hot money coming in, pushing up the INR, and one day leaving suddenly. The whole process would be destabilising. So we have the investor quotas. Foreign FIs are required to register themselves with the RB...

Re: Indian Economy - News & Discussion Oct 12 2013
Masala bonds are issued and listed offshore, for offshore investors, so I don't think the limits would apply. I think the only Masala bond issuance so far has been the IFC issuance last year. Great development in either case. I think it will be well received and show the way for more Indian entities...

In view of changes in the Russian space programme on Moon, its agreement with Isro was further being delayed. "It means virtually we won't get a lander from Russia till 2017. So, we are planning to a develop a lander ourselves," I wonder if it would be feasible for ISRO to outsource the l...

Suraj,
which part do you find to be political/politically partisan?
As for his job description, I do not know what that is but I have seen other central bankers also make speeches on topics other than monetary policy.

Would also like to add a comment on his monetary policy. There is no doubt that lower interest rates would help the real economy immediately, especially real estate and infrastructure which sorely need lower borrowing costs. However, the way I see it, he is trying to fix a much bigger and long term ...
