Administered interest rates distort structure: Reddy

Reserve Depository Financial Institution of Republic Of India Governor Yttrium Volt Reddy have said administered rates falsify the involvement charge per unit construction and blunts the efficaciousness of the pecuniary policy.

"In improver to formal prescription of involvement rates, public sector banks, which account for over 70 per cent of banking assets, are called upon by the bulk stockholder to dispatch societal duties to reflect public policy priorities," added Reddy.

In a fiscal system, where Banks play a dominant function in non-banking activities also, the transmittal of pecuniary policy through both recognition and pecuniary channels is also impacted in this environment, he said.
