Directions for the
following 4 (four) items:
Read the following passage and
answer the four items that follow.
Your answers to these items should be based on the passage only.
Passage
Financial markets in India have
acquired greater depth and liquidity over the years. Steady reforms since 1991
have led to growing linkage ad integration of the Indian economy and its
financial system with the global economy. Weak global economic prospects and
continuing uncertainties in the international financial markets therefore, have
had their impact on the emerging market economies. Sovereign risk concerns,
particularly in the Euro area, affected financial markets for the greater part
of the year, with the contagion of Greece’s
sovereign debt problem spreading to India and other economies by way of
higher-than-normal levels of volatility.
The funding
constraints in international financial markets could impact both the
availability and cost of foreign funding for banks and corporate. Since the India financial
system is bank dominated, bank’s ability to withstand stress is critical to
overall financial stability. Indian banks, however, remain robust,
notwithstanding a decline in capital to risk-weighted assets ratio and a rise
in non-performing asset levels in the recent past. Capital adequacy levels
remain above the regulatory requirements. The financial market infrastructure
continues to function without any major disruption. With further globalization,
consolidation, deregulation, and diversification of the financial system, the banking
business may become more complex and riskier. Issues like risk and liquidity
management and enhancing skill therefore assume greater significance.
33. According
to the passage, the financial markets in the emerging market economies
including India
had the adverse impact in recent years due to
1.
weak global economic prospects.
2.
uncertainties in the international financial markets.
3.
sovereign risk concerns in the Euro area.
4.
bad monsoons and the resultant crop loss.

d) Contagion of Greece’s
sovereign debt problem.
Answer: c
35. According
to the passage, in the Indian financial system, banks’ ability to withstand
stress is critical to ensure overall financial stability because Indian
financial system is
a) controlled by the Government of India.
b) less integrated with
banks.
c) controlled by Reserve
Bank of India.
d) dominated by banks.
Answer: d
