What happened
Nirmala Sitharaman chaired the Financial Stability and Development Council meeting on October 23, 2026. The council discussed macro-financial stability and India's preparedness for emerging risks, including geopolitical uncertainties and the steep rise in global bond yields. The meeting also addressed measures to promote fintech innovation and the tokenization of financial assets.
Why it matters
The council stressed the need for vigilance regarding ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and the steep rise in global bond yields, which is causing heavy capital outflow from emerging markets like India. The meeting emphasized strengthening inter-regulatory coordination among bodies like the Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India to enhance the financial system's resilience.
