Seeking Information
from RBI
The Reserve Bank of
India has an established communication policy. Under
this, the Reserve Bank of India regularly releases
information and data on Indian economy, banking and
finance. It releases the information and data at regular
periodicity - daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, six
monthly and annually. In addition, it also releases
information, as and when required, through occasional
publications, such as, studies and reports.
The Reserve Bank also
places in public domain its instructions relating
to banking, finance, foreign exchange and other related
subjects. Further, the Reserve Bank also disseminates
information, especially of general interest, through
daily press releases.
The information
and data routinely released by the Reserve Bank are
available on its website (www.rbi.org.in)
The details of information
that is already available from the Reserve Bank of
India are:
Policy
Statements of the Governor, RBI
The
policy Statements of the Governor, Reserve Bank of
India provide a framework for the monetary, structural
and prudential measures that are taken from time to
time against the background of an assessment of macroeconomic
and monetary developments. Up to 2004, the Annual
Policy Statement was announced in April/May every
year and was followed by a Mid-Term Review in October/November.
In order to provide a distinctive focus on monetary
policy and developmental policies, the format of presentation
of the policy Statement was modified in the Annual
Policy Statement of April 2005. The Statement now
consists of two parts: Part I. Annual Statement on
Monetary Policy for the Year; and Part II Annual Statement
on Developmental and Regulatory Policies for the Year.
There is a Mid-term Review of the Annual Policy Statement
in October, as in the past, covering both Part I and
Part II of the Statement. In addition, a First Quarter
Review of Part I of the Statement in July and a Third
Quarter Review in January is scheduled every year.
The quarterly reviews of monetary policy provide the
opportunity for structured communication with markets
on a more frequent basis while retaining the flexibility
to take specific measures as the evolving circumstances
warrant.
