18 years after the 2008 financial meltdown: How a crisis born in US reshaped India
Times of India 2 hrs ago·19 Sept 2026, 11:55 am
The 2008 global financial crisis severely impacted India through market volatility, reduced capital inflows, and a trade slowdown. However, the country's banking sector demonstrated significant resilience during that period.
The crisis exposed critical gaps in financial regulation and resolution mechanisms. In response, India implemented major reforms, including the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) to manage distressed assets, stronger safeguards for systemically important banks, and higher capital buffers to absorb shocks.
Nearly 18 years later, India's financial system is stronger and more robust. However, the rapid rise in Artificial Intelligence investment is now introducing new variables, such as higher leverage and operational risks, which investors should monitor for potential impacts on financial stability.
