RBI guidance on financial technology and risk management

Overview

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials have emphasized the importance of technological integration and risk management to maintain financial stability. Initially, Deputy Governor S C Murmu urged lenders to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to detect early signs of borrower stress, noting that “growth must never come at the cost of underwriting standards” as credit growth accelerates in the non-banking financial sector.

Subsequently, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra expanded the focus on systemic risks, expressing caution regarding private cryptocurrencies due to concerns over monetary sovereignty. He also identified a potential slowdown in global AI investment cycles as a risk factor for market volatility, though he suggested such corrections might redirect capital toward India’s resilient banking sector. Malhotra warned that prolonged financial stability can lead to excessive leverage, necessitating continuous vigilance.
