Key highlights of the meeting

  • The Union Finance minister met the Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC) to discuss the state of economy, budget proposals and to prepare a roadmap for India’s recovery for the next financial year amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

  • FSDC has replaced the High Level Coordination Committee on Financial Markets (HLCCFM), which was facilitating regulatory coordination, though informally, prior to the setting up of FSDC.
  • The technical committee under HLCCFM for RBI regulated entities, though at a modest level, had set up a Financial Conglomerate Monitoring Mechanism since 2004.

  • Chairperson: The Union Finance Minister of India
  • Members:
    1. Governor Reserve Bank of India (RBl),

  • It will also focus on financial literacy and financial inclusion. 
  • What distinguishes FSDC from other such similarly situated organizations across the globe is the additional mandate given for development of financial sector
