Major Defects of Indian Money Market

Defects of Indian Money Market

The main defects of the Indian money market are the following:
1. Narrow coverage:

The organized banking system is still a very large component of the Indian money market. The  Indian banking system widely covers metropolitan cities and the towns. But, The organized sector of the banking system is conspicuous by its absence in many rural areas.

This means that lower income groups in many rural areas still do not enjoy banking facilities.
2. Imbalance between demand and supply:

The Indian money market is characterized by inadequate supply of short-term assets. This creates a peculiar situation.

On the one hand banks with surplus funds cannot invest them profitably short period. On the other hand, those who require short-term funds are unable to raise them from the market at competitive rates.
3. Lack of co-ordination:

There is hardly any co-ordination between the different segments of the money market. The reason in easy to find out. The different segments of the money market are very loosely interrelated at present. As a consequence there exist different interest rates in different sub-markets.
4. Only domestic coverage:

Finally, the Indian money market mainly targets domestic market. So, it is very difficult to attract foreign funds. The main reason seems to be that rupee is not a major currency in the leading foreign exchange markets of the world.

Brief Note on Importance of Industrial Growth in Indian Economy

The Indian Government understood the importance of industries in India. The industrial policy undertaken on July 1991 by the Congress Government, have been designed to build on the past industrial achievements and to accelerate the process of making Indian industry internationally competitive, with a view to integrate the Indian economy with the world economy. The Industrial Policy of 1991 put more importance on expansion of the private sector to introduce liberalization. While our original industrial policies were characterized by state interventions and control in the industrial sector, the new industrial policy gave more emphasis on de-licensing and decentralization. However the role of the public sector in Indian economic development cannot be denied altogether. Public sector has contributed to a great extent in building the infrastructure, employment generation, capital formation, industrialization etc. in India.
