“To manage financial stability and sustaining growth, we have to adopt unconventional measures, if necessary,” Chidambaram told reporters here, adding that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) would step in whenever necessary to ensure this.

“RBI will act swiftly as and when necessary to maintain financial stability,” he said. “Our financial system is strong, our economic fundamentals are strong. RBI has endorsed the assessment.”

Chidambaram said India was not the cause of the global financial crisis but wanted to be a part of the solution to the problem.

“We are faced with the ripples of the global effect”.
