To understand emerging market financial risks, one oftignored issue is the data definitions and compilation methods . The latest document by the Reserve Bank of India is an invaluable guide towards a better understanding of macro-economic data in India. This one is a must for economists and financial analysts .

The manual is titled 'Manual on Financial and Banking Statistics'. First of its kind, the Manual is a reference guide and provides a methodological framework for compilation of statistical indicators encompassing various sectors, viz., monetary statistics, banking statistics, external sector statistics, fiscal sector statistics, etc. The manual is prepared on the recommendation of the Steering Committee set up by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India. The manual is mainly devoted to the primary data compiled and disseminated by the Reserve Bank and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development in their major publications, following an integrated and uniform approach. This document is expected to facilitate better understanding of conceptual issues on measurement of statistical indicators on the subject.
