Objective

While financial markets are the mainstay of matured and emerging economies the banks play crucial role in providing financial resources/ liquidity to the financial markets and their players. Banks themselves are key market players. Again, the Government crafts public policy framework and the financial regulators put in place range of regulations for processes, products and players to ensure that markets operate in a safe and sound manner.
