MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL SECTOR IN INDIAN ECONOMY
The year 2009 was a difficult year for the entire world. Not only did this
have an impact on die on the demand environment on die industries, it also
had a huge impact on economic metrics like foreign exchange rates, economic
growth expectations and cost structures globally.
Rapidly changing global economic & business conditions and technological
innovation are creating an increasingly competitive environment that is
driving companies to transform their operations globally. While the
expectations of the customers have increased manifold; your Company is
committed to satisfy the clients widi improved quality and accelerated

the last financial statements that may materially and adversely affect or
is likely to affect die trading or profitability of our Company or the
value of our assets or our ability to pay our liabilities.
Financial sector reforms have long been regarded as an integral part of the
overall policy reforms in India. India has recognized that these financial
sector reforms are imperative for increasing the efficiency of resource
mobilization and allocation in the real economy and for the overall
macroeconomic stability. The reforms have been driven by a thrust towards
liberalization and several initiatives such as liberalization in the
interest rate and reserve requirements have been taken on this front. At
the same time, die government has emphasized on stronger regulation aimed
at strengdiening prudential norms, transparency and supervision to mitigate
the prospects of systemic risks.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
Financial sector reforms have been an important part of die overall reform
process. Yet, after a decade of reforms, many of the deep seated problems
in the financial sector remain. The hopes diat were raised by the
impressive progress in the initial years of the reforms have not been
fulfilled. The state has not relinquished its grip on the financial sector.
Except in isolated pockets, competition has not been unleashed in the
financial sector on a scale sufficient to produce visible benefits in terms
of efficiency, innovation and customer service. Moreover, many of the
deeper rooted problems of the Indian economy strongly relating to die
financial sector are:
1. Relatively inadequate level of prudential regulation in the financial
sector;
2. Poorly developed debt and money markets; and
3. Outdated (often primitive) technological and institutional structures
that made the capital markets and the rest of the financial system highly
inefficient.
Over the last six years, much has been achieved in addressing many of these
problems, but a lot remains to be done.
