keyrecommendations include –
• Introduction of a new investor class called “Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI)” consisting of current
categories such as FIIs/sub-accounts/QFIs, with the investment limit at 24%
• To allow FPIs to register with depository participants instead of SEBI - simplifies the registration
process.
• Investments upto 10% equity of a company to be portfolio investments and anything above 10% can
be FDI.
• Introduction of a risk-based approach to KYC with three categories of FPIs.

4. • Macro/Policy: Inflation data this week showed mixed trends – headline wholesale inflation eased,
consumer price inflation levels remained elevated.The latter was primarily due to rise in food and fuel
inflation.
RBI has indicated a discomfort with higher CPI inflation and the current account deficit levels. This
along with the recent sharp depreciation in the rupee has cast a shadow on the ongoing monetary
easing. However, growth data remains weak and there is a need to support growth.
