*  *  *  Governor Dr. Tarisa Watanagase, Dean, Yoshitomi, Dr. Nachiket Mor, Mr. Joshi & friends, It gives me great pleasure to deliver the keynote address at the Asian Bond Conference organised jointly by the Thai Bond Dealing Centre (Thai BDC), Fixed Income Money Market Dealers Association of India (FIMMDA) and Primary Dealers Association of India (PDAI).
It is a matter of significance that some of the major self-regulatory organisations (SROs) in the debt markets of Asia have taken this initiative to exchange ideas and experiences of the emerging economies from Asia and I am sure that this Conference would be mutually beneficial as each one of us gains valuable insights by absorbing the experience of other countries.
