The RBI brings out a number of Ad hoc publications, which contain a wealth of useful information on national and international issues.
Information on various facets of Indian Economy is disseminated through the RBI publications, such as, Handbook of Statistics on Indian Economy, Statistical Tables relating to Banks in India, Banking Statistics - Annual and Quarterly.
