Even the best of macro- prudential policies might fall short while addressing serious economic crises and might not be able to foresee such challenging situations, said Reserve Bank of India ( RBI) Deputy Governor R Gandhi. He was speaking a conference in Chennai on Friday. Macro- prudential policy is the approach to financial regulation aimed at mitigating the risk of the financial system as awhole. According to him, the challenge is to establish an implementable framework to deal with the emerging systemic risks at an early stage. “Future crisis also may not replicate any of the past ones. Hence, history might not always be of help. Complacency may slowly set in even as our memories of bad times are gradually fading away,” he said.

In a bid to improve accountability and ensure every order is looked upon as a regulatory action, the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi) might get its orders passed by a panel. Currently, orders are passed by a single officer from one department. “To make orders a collective responsibility of the regulator and to prevent one officer from being singled out, we are mulling to have a panel to pass orders,” said a source. Another source says this would increase the quality of orders and ensure different perspectives are taken into account while issuing these. “ We want to have orders with more of quasi- judicial quality. Being passed by a panel would make sure these cannot be questioned easily,” added the person. This was suggested by some independent members who are a part of the Sebi board of directors. Lawyers agree this would help improve the applicability. “It will bring more perspective.Ideally, this panel should include at least three officers and one of them sh
