RBI panel sets global road map for rupee

Live Mint  

MUMBAI : A Reserve Bank of India appointed committee on Wednesday has recommended a roadmap to achieve internationalisation of rupee including efforts for inclusion in the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights basket. It also recommended integrating Indian payment systems with other countries for cross-border transactions and strengthening financial markets by fostering a global 24×5 INR market and promoting India as the hub for INR transactions and price discovery. As part of medium-term strategy, the panel said, there is a need to review taxes on masala bonds and international use of Real Time Gross Settlement for cross-border trade transactions and inclusion of INR as a direct settlement currency in Continuous Linked Settlement system. Examination of taxation issues in financial markets to harmonise tax regimes of India and other financial centres and allowing banking services in INR outside India through off-shore branches of Indian banks are part of the medium-term suggestion given by the panel.
