Abstract: Macroprudential tools were actively used in India long before the onset of the global financial crisis. The regulatory tools, and the power to activate them, reside with sectoral authorities, while the Financial Stability and Development Council is the apex body concerned with financial stability. Its Sub-Committee has taken on the role of finalising broad-based macroprudential policies and tools. As India is a bank-dominated economy, and the Reserve Bank of India regulates banks, non-bank financial companies and most other important segments of the financial markets, the Bank is the main centre for macroprudential analysis. This paper documents the successful implementation of various macroprudential tools such as provisioning, risk weights, loan-to-value ratios and capital flow measures. We also highlight the coordinated use of macroprudential and monetary policies in response to changes in the macro-financial environment before and after the crisis. Lastly, the analytical approaches to systemic risk assessment in India, together with the use of communication as a policy tool, are discussed.
