Depression in 1930
The Great Depression
• The Great Depression was a worldwide
economic downturn starting in most places
in 1929 and ending at different times in the
1930s or early 1940s for different countries.
• It was the largest and most important
economic depression in the 20th century,
and is used in the 21st century as an
example of how far the world's economy
can fall.
• The Great Depression originated in the
United States; historians most often use as
a starting date the stock market crash on
October 29, 1929, known as Black
Tuesday

The rise and fall of investment Banks
• Lehman Brothers (1850)
• Goldman Sachs (1869)
– Merrill Lynch (1914)
– Bear Sterns (1923) and
– Morgan Stanley (1935)
– AIG
All of them became the victims of the current financial turmoil in the
US and have changed their identity during the last six months.
• Bear Sterns and Merrill Lynch were taken over by commercial
banks.
• Lehman was wound up and the other two have now become
commercial banks.
• I-BANK MODEL: The great stock market crash of 1929 in the US
brought about drastic changes in the financial sector.
• The Glass Steagall Act, 1933 which separated commercial banking
from I-banking.
• This gave a fillip to I-banks to fill in the void and expand their
activities. In fact, Morgan Stanley was started after this Act.

MRTP, etc.

India : 1984-92
Domestic Liberalization
From late 1970s onwards hesitant but then
accelerating decontrol: various reports
(Desai, 1969, Jha, 1981) critical of state
intervention
1984 Rajiv Gandhi’s domestic liberalization
with limited international opening
Accompanied by usual rhetoric about free
market and export-led growth; though
exports remain stagnant
Growth rate picks up circa 1980 not after
1991

vehicles)

Global Opening?
Structural Adjustment (but like 1981 IMF loan, paid back
early)
Privatization of parts of very large public sector
Growth and industrial growth accelerate
Export led-rhetoric, exports rise only in traditional
categories: Textiles, Gems and Jewellery, Leather, etc.
Balance of Payments gap closed by remittances
Import penetration increases
Mainly driven by pent-up demand for goods with high import
content
Narrow domestic market easily saturated: industrial
recession by 2001.
Capital Controls remain:
RBI’s conservatism prevails over Ministry of Finance enthusiasm
India escapes 1998 Asian meltdown
Continuing caution about portfolio investments and reserve
accumulation

consumption credit
Increase in retail banking
Inflow of foreign loans + portfolio inv. + foreign financial

But accompanied by trade deficit (unlike China and Japan)
But Trade Deficit > software + remittances current

2008: Financial Crisis
Transmission Mechanisms
Portfolio Investments and Withdrawals by IFIs
Fall in Sensex
Depreciation of rupee
Exposure of Indian banks to toxic assets:
RBI estimate 450m (90m public + 360 pvt)
+ depositors and investors in foreign banks operating in
India (recently increased operations)
Exposure of non-bank FIs and corporates to domestic stock and
currency markets.
Expected to be large, RBI permits banks to provide loans to
mutual funds against Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or buy-
back their own CDs before maturity
Cut-backs on credit to individuals by banks. Marked
deterioration in growth of all consumer loans. Given reliance of
growth on this sort of credit, impact on growth could be high.
