HDFC Securities sees limited impact from RBI's new prop trading rules, expects firms to adapt

Abizer Diwanji, founder of NeoStrat Advisors LLP, pushed back on the idea that the RBI is targeting capital markets directly, noting that market regulation is SEBI's — the Securities and Exchange Board of India's — job, not the RBI's. Instead, he said, the central bank's goal is to prevent bank funding from inflating asset prices in ways that create systemic risk.
