The papers included in this section highlight the need for broadening the outreach of the formal financial institutions so as to attain the twin objectives of inclusive growth and sustainable development. The second section on Financial Market deals with issues relating to Capital Market Money Market and Derivative Market and highlights the challenges faced by these markets. A few papers in this section deal with the effects of FDI and FII on the financial market and contain detailed analysis of factors influencing market fluctuations. The third section is on Microfinance. The various papers under this section highlight the excellent initiatives taken by all concerned to uplift the poor and the downtrodden in our society by ensuring economic and social empowerment.

A few papers seek to examine the causative factors and come out with prescriptions to bridge policy and implementation gaps.
