Overview

Agenda

India’s economy is currently one of the fastest growing in the world, and the second largest on the whole (in purchasing power terms). However, India’s future economic development will require its financial sector to play a critical role. This event, organized by the Wilson Center’s South Asia Institute in partnership with the International Monetary Fund, focused on a new IMF study on India’s financial sector and how it can be used to support growth and reduce vulnerabilities. Event speakers discussed the linkages between the financial sector and growth, improvements in bank lending to foster productivity, and measures to further develop India’s corporate bond market. The event also focused on India’s efforts to leverage digitalization to foster financial inclusion, how the financial system can help address climate issues, supporting reforms that could help the financial sector better support India’s growth potential, and the challenges that remain.
