An Analysis of Financial Integration and Financial Stability in India

摘要

The financial system is essential for growth, and a repressed financial system, characterized by price distortion, under saving, negative or unstable returns on savings and investment, and inefficient allocation of savings among competing users, impedes growth. As the financial system develops, households substitute out of unproductive tangible assets, raising the total real supply of credit, the quantity and quality of investment, and thus the rate of economic growth. In this perspective, the lack of financial development is simply a manifestation of the lack of demand for financial services. As the real sectors of the economy grow the demand for various financial services rises and will thus be met by the financial sector. Financial integration is a phenomenon in which financial markets of economies are closely integrated. Financial integration is used as an indicator of long run equilibrium which explains a greater inter-linkage or greater complementary relationship across different market segments.
