Chidambaram, Bhave calm investor nerves

Our Bureau

New Delhi, Sept. 30 Indian stock market indices on Tuesday bucked global slide in stock prices, thanks to the unequivocal assurances from the Union Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, and the SEBI Chairman, Mr C.B. Bhave.

Both sought to comfort investors by stating that the country’s stock exchanges and financial markets remained sound, attractive and well regulated and there was no reason to panic in the wake of the US financial market turmoil.

Mr Bhave, who met Mr Chidambaram here, told reporters at North Block that there were no settlement issues at the stock exchanges and that SEBI was closely monitoring the markets.

On short selling, he said that SEBI would take stringent action if any institution were to violate rules. “At present, there are no indications that such a violation has occurred,” he added.

Mr Chidambaram said that all Indian banks are well capitalised and well regulated and that no Indian depositor need be apprehensive.
