💨 Abstract

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced its decision to allow trading in bond forwards, enabling long-term investors, particularly insurance funds, to manage interest rate risks more efficiently. This move is aimed at fostering market development and efficient pricing of derivatives. The RBI will soon release the final guidelines for these contracts and will also form a working group to review trading and settlement timings of financial markets.
