Indian Financial market during shock

Like other financial market all over the world India have also faced the financial crises. The RBI later came to know the main reason of the financial crises and also discovers the three main channels which were – the trade, financial and confidence channel. The trade channel was one of the most important as it has discovered that decline in the export and recessionary abroad. The financial channel is been measured with the total transaction to GDP.
