India’s Bond Market – Current Status and Road Ahead

Join Refinitiv and Ms. Lakshmi Iyer, CIO- Fixed Income, Kotak Asset Management in this On-Demand webinar to find about the bond market in India.

There are multiple developments which are affecting India’s bond market- whether it is RBI’s move to maintain status quo on policy rates or the introduction of LTRO with which the central bank will infuse Rs. 1 Lac Crs into the banking system. FPIs & FIIs have been furiously removing money from the Indian Bond Market in the current month.

The spread of COVID-19 is an urgent issue across the world. The global recession resulting from the impact of the Covid-19 is being citied by S&P when they lowered India’s 2020 growth forecast to 5.2% from 5.7% estimated earlier.

There are plenty of factors that will play a key role in defining the road ahead for India’s bond market.

Join the speakers in their discussion on topics including:

  • Impact of additional liquidity infused by RBI & India’s high liquidity surplus on the bond market
  • Introduction of LTRO by RBI and its significance for the bond market
  • Will FPIs and FIIs continue to remove money from the market?
  • Will structuring of sovereign bonds and including them in leading bond indices lead to fresh inflows?
  • Impact of S&P growth forecast for India on the bond market
