Inflation-indexed bonds will help investors hedge their savings against inflation

THE Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to launch within month the inflation-indexed bonds (IIBs), with seven to 15 years maturity, which will help investors hedge their savings against inflation.

"This was announced in the budget. We have also announced in our auction calendar and we hope (to issue IIBs) within a month's time," RBI deputy governor H R Khan said on the sidelines of an event organised by National Housing Bank here.

"Bonds will have their own guidelines and features. As of now it will be linked to wholesale price index. Every six months, it will be indexed," he said.

Khan said there are one or two design features that are being discussed with the government.

On the maturity period of these bonds, Khan said it would range between seven and 15 years.

"Right now, the plan is that it will be issued like any other government security... What we are proposing is that non-competitive portion (retail portion), we have higher percentage of bidding, it could be 10 per cent, it could be 15 per cent, or 20 per cent. So, it will be earmarked for the small fellows, trusts or individual, those who have gilt accounts," he said.

Retail investors can get the bonds without participating in the auction at the cut-off price, Khan said.

"Then after few months, we will think of some certificate based on this," he added.

The central bank, for some time, has been planning to introduce IIBs to wean away investors from gold as a hedge against inflation.

Finance minister P Chidambaram in the budget speech had said: "I propose to introduce instruments that will protect savings from inflation, especially the savings of the poor and middle classes. These could be inflation indexed bonds or inflation indexed national security certificates." On external commercial borrowings (ECBs) for affordable housing, Khan said: "We have come out with the $1 billion scheme and this year we are going to continue that." He further said that RBI will adopt "a cautious approach because housing doesn't generate foreign exchange." "So, we have to see that we have really viable projects and we don't get into difficulty. We have to balance the requirement as well as the currency mismatches. We have to take a balanced approach," he added.

How much to invest in gold ?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Let your motivation dictate the share of the yellow metal in your portfolio Enough has been said and written about gold as an investment option. The latest argument is that the craze for gold among Indian households is endangering our country's balance of payments. The policymakers are busy trying to find ways of discouraging investment in gold, but if households keep the common good in mind, they would be paying the market price for gas cylinders as they do for, say, their mobile phone bills. After all, private decisions are driven by private motives. So, how should a household look at gold from its own perspective? Gold is primarily acquired for its merit as a store of value.
