  • Bloomberg "India's central bank unexpectedly ordered lenders to set aside more reserves for a fourth time this year to prevent ``unacceptably high'' inflows of foreign cash from reigniting inflation. The Reserve Bank of India raised the ratio of deposits lenders must put aside by half a point to 7.5 percent, up from 5.25 percent at the start of the year. Interest rates were kept unchanged, the central bank said in a statement in Mumbai today.  ...  The increase follows steps last week by India's stock market regulator to check foreign investment that drove the share index to a record and pushed the rupee to a 9 1/2 year high. Governor Yaga Venugopal Reddy said inflows rose after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut rates to stem subprime mortgage defaults, increasing the risk of ``financial contagion.''  more terms: Sensitive index, Bombay Stock Exchange, Sensex,  restricting bank lending to prevent asset bubbles, barred issuance of offshore instruments tied to derivatives, spread between 2-year Indian government bonds and similar U. S. Treasury Notes, discourage arbitrage, India has prevented its state-run refiners from raising local fuel prices even as crude oil has risen 47%.
