In a mature market economy, finance must interact productively with the decision making of private economic agents and shape the resource allocation emerging out of these decisions as efficiently as possible. But Indian finance has a history of financial preemption. Formerly, the task of finance was seen as mobilizing resources for the implementation of socialism at two levels : first, to fund fiscal deficits on below market terms and second, to direct the supply of resources into socially important areas under the guidance of planners rather than the rules of the market. Most policy making in finance in past decades, has been shaped by financial repression, i.e. forcing finance to allocate-resources based not on economic efficiency but to channel it in ways sought by the state. Strong elements of financial repression continue to be in place; e.g. the lack of a properly functioning bond market. Flaws in competition policy, segmentation and barriers to innovation, are rooted in this deeper system of appropriation by the state of financial resources.

Financial policymakers in India attachmore importance to fulfill social objectives than objectivity
