    Article on Euro Issues - Iim L

    Many large companies in India require foreign exchange for importing vital capital goods. In the early eighties, India’s rating in the international credit market stood high. So, Indian companies with strong finances and which could offer acceptable security could get foreign currency loans from international banks for meeting their foreign exchange requirements. The acceptable security was a guarantee given by a bank or a financial institution in India. In the early nineties, the foreign exchange reserves of the country dwindled. The Indian economy was also weak. On account of these, India’s credit rating fell below ‘investment grade’. At that time, Indian companies were finding it difficult to obtain loans from international banks. Hence, many Indian companies had to approach the EXIM bank of India and other financial institutions like ICICI who had foreign lines of credit from International Finance Corporation or other international agencies, for foreign currency loans. By middle of 1991, the liberalization of the Indian economy was set in motion. There was an earnest attempt to integrate India with the global market. The emerging transparency and decontrols attracted the attention of many foreign investors. The foreign equity investors appreciated the liberal policies of the Indian Government and identified huge stakes in the emerging Indian capital market. In February’92, while presenting the budget, the finance minister announced government’s decision to allow the FIIs to invest in the Indian capital market and to allow Indian companies with good track record to float their stocks in foreign markets with a view to augmenting the forex reserves of the country.…

    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…

    Equity brokerage industry in India is experiencing rapid growth and diversity. Following the wide range of stock market reforms in the early 2000’s, brokerage industry underwent major transformations from being engaged in only brokerage business to offering a wide range of financial services. A modern broking house in India may well be a corporate entity that offers a wide range of products, relies on research for advice, uses modern technology, has large distribution network connecting the country, provides investor education and awareness and is compliance focused. These developments have resulted in a huge spurt in business as also growing market share of the large sized brokerage houses that led to surge in enterprise value, thus becoming objects of interest for global investing. With the stock market momentum likely to continue, broking firms could look forward to scaling up their resource mobilization to fund growing operations and expansion. Brokerages mopping up huge resources from the market are not unusual even in the emerging markets.…

    Foreign Institutional Investors

    K.S. Chalapati Rao, K.V.K. Ranganathan and M.R. Murthy* To facilitate foreign private capital flows in the form of portfolio investments, developing countries have been advised to develop their stock markets. It was suggested that these investments would help the stock markets directly through widening investor base and indirectly by compelling local authorities to improve the trading systems. While the volatility associated with portfolio capital flows is well known, there is also a concern that foreign institutional investors might introduce distortions in the host country markets due to the pressure on them to secure capital gains. In this context, this paper seeks to assess the importance of foreign portfolio investments in India relative to other major forms and to study the relationship between foreign portfolio investments and trends in the Indian stock market during the past four years. Introduction The character of global capital flows to developing countries underwent significant changes on many counts during the 'nineties. By the time the East Asian financial crisis surfaced, the overall size of the flows more than tripled. It stood at US$ 100.8 bn. in 1990 and rose to US$ 308.1 bn. by 1996. The increase was entirely due to the sharp rise in the flows under private account that rose from US$ 43.9 bn. to 275.9 billion during the same period. In relative terms the percentage of private account capital flows increased from 43.55 to 89.55 per cent (Table 1). Simultaneously, the Official Development Assistance (ODA), declined both in relative and absolute terms. All the main components of the private account capital transfers, namely, (a) commercial loans, (b) foreign direct investments (FDI), and (c) foreign portfolio investments (equity and bonds) (FPI) recorded significant increases. Portfolio flows increased at a faster rate than direct investments on private account. As a result, starting…
