Q. The term Economic Capital Framework is related to which of the following?

[A] Bad Bank

[B] Reserve Bank of India

[C] New Development Bank

[D] World Bank

Answer: B
Notes:

Bimal Jalan Committee was set up to review the economic capital framework of the RBI.  

  • Its mandate was to review global best practices followed by the central banks in making assessment and provisions. 
  • It has suggested that the framework may be periodically reviewed after every five years. 
  • The panel recommended aligning the central bank’s accounting year with the financial year which could reduce the need for paying interim dividend. 
  • The panel also suggested a clearer distinction between the two components of economic capital — realized equity and revaluation balances — mainly because of the volatile nature of the revaluation balances.
