Handbook of Fixed Income Securities: Indian Banking Perspective

Book Description

This book focuses on four components of the process of fixed income portfolio management with reference to government securities: Valuation and Return, Sensitivity, Value at Risk and Validation of VaR estimate. It also explores the problems with valuations on the basis of yield to maturity applying discreet discounting method as is the market practice, performing sensitivity measures by applying the modified duration method with the predicted yield shocks provided by RBI and making risk charges accordingly, calculation of VaR with different methods and back testing and stress testing; and suggests how to overcome those problems and which tools to use in which situation judiciously. Understanding of the text and the CD material would prevent frequency of breaches of risk measures and improve accuracy and speed of computation. This book covered the concepts, tools and techniques of fixed income to the extent they are warranted in daily practice by the officers in treasury and risk management without going into unnecessary academic details.

Monetary History of India: Forecasting Perspective of Central Banks and Economists

Book Description
Traditional belief was that if one or a combination of the driver variables like interest rates, prices and outputs, pulls down a big economy the small economies are also affected in the same direction in an age where markets across the nations are increasingly being connected. But the Greek debt crisis led the policy makers, central bankers and economists to start believing the contrary. At the same time the above crisis has given birth to several myths (e.g. breakup of euro zone) and the consequent panic among the public. In absence of reference to the details of definitions, measures and creation/determination process of money supply, if subscribed to by governments, regulators and economists, such myths may lead to disasters. With this backdrop, this book is written, from the forecasting perspective of central banks and economists, about evolution of definitions, measures and models of money supply determination, in terms of research papers, in an economy like India which is relatively less affected by the international crises like East Asian crisis and sub prime crisis.
