15. Financial liberalisation in India: an assessment / C P Chandrasekhar, Parthapratim Pal
The Indian experience with reform in the financial sector has had three important outcomes: greater financial fragility, as epitomised in the irrational boom in India's stock market, a deflationary macroeconoic stance, and, finally a credit squeeze for the commodity produring sectors.

16. Current state of Indian capital market / R H Patil

Use of IT, shorter settlement periods and dematerialisation have been major developments. But all is not entirely positive. The introduction of individual stock futures poses a major risk; so also the large inflow of funds through participatory notes.

18. On liberalising foreign institutional investments / Mihir Rakshit
