External Commercial Borrowings
Conference
By Mr. K Ramasubramanian
Introduction
Indian companies generally borrow from Indian Banks to meet their current capital account requirements. However the interest rates in India on such borrowings are generally high due to various factors including inflation. Consequent to globalization of Indian economy and the liberalization of cross border transactions, increased awareness among Indian companies and the need to optimize costs and maximize profits Indian companies prefer to avail funds from International financial market where the interest cost is lower.
Recognizing this need Reserve Bank of India has introduced the Regulations relating to External commercial Borrowings (ECB). These regulations are a part of capital control which means that inflow and outflow of foreign exchange under this head is regulated in such a way that such borrowings are incentivised to be of long term in nature and the end use of such borrowings result in creation of long term assets in India which in turn will lead to increased production, employment, GDP so on and so forth.
