The way forward

Regulators can lead the way forward
Regulations need to permit investments in ‘A’ category instruments
– IRDA regulations currently permit insurance companies to take board approval to invest in ‘A+’ rated debt
– Stronger long-term performance should provide confidence to regulators to allow investors to expand their investment basket
Credit Default Swap (CDS) can catalyse investor interest in lower rated bonds
– Represents a tool to offset additional risks
– RBI has taken the first step by issuing regulations
– Other regulators need to follow suit to allow insurance companies, pension funds, provident funds and mutual funds to use CDS effectively
Investors need to show active interest in credits rated below ‘AA’
