The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set up a new panel comprising representatives from banks and financial-market participants to examine issues affecting India’s financial markets and recommend measures to improve their functioning.

The panel brings together stakeholders from across the financial ecosystem, creating a forum for the RBI to obtain industry feedback on emerging market developments and operational challenges.

The review is significant as India’s financial markets have become increasingly interconnected, with banks, institutional investors, intermediaries and other market participants exposed to common issues involving liquidity, market infrastructure, trading, settlement and risk management.

A structured industry-level consultation can help identify operational constraints and emerging risks that may not be immediately visible through individual institutions. It can also support more effective regulatory responses as market practices and financial products evolve.

For banks and financial institutions, the panel could provide an avenue to raise concerns relating to market operations and contribute to discussions on regulatory and infrastructure changes.

The initiative comes against a backdrop of changing liquidity conditions, evolving interest-rate expectations and growing participation across India’s financial markets. These developments make market-risk management, liquidity management and resilient market infrastructure increasingly important.

For risk and treasury functions, greater regulatory-industry coordination could help institutions prepare for changes affecting funding markets, liquidity, trading and settlement mechanisms.

The panel’s recommendations and subsequent RBI actions will therefore be relevant not only to banks but also to a wider range of financial-market participants.
