As the
government has been reducing its borrowing programme, the vacuum is going to be
filled by corporate bonds, a senior SEBI official said on Tuesday. The Total Investment & Insurance

"As
the Centre's borrowing programme is going to come down, the space is going to
be taken over by corporate bonds," Securities and Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) Member G. Mahalingam said here.
"As
the government is going to be more and more oriented towards fiscal rectitude,
we talked a lot about political lack of homogeneity in thought. The previous
government left with a fiscal target of 3.2 per cent and this government took
over with the same fiscal target in mind," he said at a conference on bond
market organised by Assocham. The Total

Mahalingam
said the bond market today is developing not simply only on its own but also
because the government has yielded a lot of space to the bonds. The Total Investment & Insurance

"The
government was borrowing around Rs 5.80 lakh crore just a couple of years back.
The government now is budgeting to borrow just about Rs 3.48 lakh crore. Where
does this Rs 2 lakh crore space get filled up? This is where the corporate bond
market has to play a very important role," said the official of India's
capital markets regulator. The Total

The
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is reducing both SLR (statutory liquidity ratio)
and Held-to-Maturity Security portfolio of the bank's overall portfolio. The Total Investment & Insurance

"All
this is going to augur very well for the corporate bond market," he added.
A study
prepared by CRISIL and Assocham said that despite a string of measures taken
over many years, the corporate bond market in India remains shallow compared
with government securities, leave alone equities.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
