In its effort to breathe new life into the Indian corporate bond market, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced a slew of measures. RBI’s measures included, allowing corporate bonds to be accepted under the liquidity adjustment facility, higher ceiling on credit enhancements, providing Foreign Portfolio investors (FPIs) direct access to bond trading platforms and increasing the risk weightages for non-rated corporate borrowers. These measures are intended to further market development, enhance participation, facilitate greater market liquidity and improve communication.
