Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Ajai Chopra:

Okay. I think it's best to talk in terms of who are the typical senior counterparts in IMF discussions. The typical senior counterparts are the Governor of the Central Bank and his main deputies, and in the Department of Finance, it tends to be the Secretary General and his main assistant secretary generals. So those were the interlocutors when these matters were discussed.

I'm not in a position to talk about the precise nature of those discussions but what I can say is, obviously, the counterparts listened carefully, asked questions but in the end we know what the result was - and the result was that they did not pursue programme discussions.
