Research activities in the areas of Fixed Income and Forex markets are in their infancy in India due to many reasons like unavailability of quality and centralized data system, institutional support for research, less and infrequent interaction between academicians and market participants, etc. Further, these markets are evolving in India with institutionalization of clearing and settlement systems, improved trade reporting mechanism etc. CCIL with its institutional background is also better suited to further the objective of creating a research repository in the relevant field that it serves. Research Department at CCIL focuses on and undertakes research activities that help participants as well as other stake holders and academicians. “Rakshitra”, the monthly newsletter of CCIL launched in October 2002 contains topics of interest in the field of gilts and foreign exchange markets, risk management and other related areas. It also contains detailed analysis of various trade statistics based on trades cleared and settled through CCIL. A weekly statistical update, titled “Market Update”, is brought out regularly analyzing and providing information on trading, settlement, risk management of various operational activities like securities settlement, funds settlement and forex settlement.

Key market statistics are daily disseminated in a leading financial daily. In an endeavor to enable the global dissemination of its data, CCIL has exclusive access to almost 35 pages in the Reuters system (IN/CCIL) / (IN/DEBT). These pages contain data on all aspects of its settlements operations and have evoked a good response on a global scale. The related data is also made available through the website. Research department also prepares a daily in-house report “Market Review”, providing data on the money, forex, government securities and derivative markets on the domestic front and also key international bond market rates.

It has set up a Research Advisory Committee (RAC) that provides direction in research in the areas of fixed income securities and forex markets in India. The effort helps in creating a research base on the related areas. The research at CCIL is aimed at designing and redesigning the market micro-structure in the country that would match the international benchmarks and standards; help market participants to frame their strategies; help policy makers to frame regulations and policies; aid in expanding the horizon of knowledge and further develop CCIL as a knowledge organization; and to create a Research Repository in CCIL that can be accessed by academicians, researchers, regulators and market participants.
