The Bank publishes two statutory reports, the Annual Report of the Bank and the
Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India. These reports along with the Report
on Currency and Finance are documents that not only relate to the Bank's operations
during a given year but also reflect economic events, matters related to banking
and policy related to the financial sector, and in a broader way the milieu of the
times. They, thus, constitute an important source material relating to India's financial
and economic history.
