RBI Governor's Warning

RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra cautioned against complacency over the strength of the Indian financial system.

“today's resilience may not necessarily imply tomorrow's immunity”

Five Key Financial Risks

Malhotra identified five major global financial stability risks: elevated global debt, stretched ai valuations, high leverage, private credit, and cyber risks.

AI and Cyber Threats

Cyber risk was the most immediate concern as ai tools with greater autonomy heighten model risks and third-party dependence.

Financial System Resilience

Banks' common equity tier-1 ratios remain comfortable while nbfc capital adequacy exceeds 25% against 15% regulatory requirement.

Five Policy Priorities

Policymakers must build resilience, prepare for cross-border risks, improve monitoring frameworks, extend resilience beyond banks, and strengthen trust through innovation.

Global Implications

Hardening global bond yields reflect increased government spending and ai-led investment amid scarce money, affecting interest rates in india.
