The highly <strong>leveraged (Provide with Strategic advantage) <\/strong>group\u2019s market troubles, in the wake of a U.S.-based short seller\u2019s report <strong>alleging (Make an accusation or assertion without any proof) <\/strong>\u2018stock manipulation and questionable accounting practices\u2019, dragged down banking shares led by the State Bank of India and even the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) appreciably on Friday, triggering investor concern about broader financial sector stability. And while a media report citing sources said the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had stepped up <strong>scrutiny (The act of examining something closely (as for mistakes)) <\/strong>of the conglomerate\u2019s transactions, there has been no official word from the markets regulator. The conglomerate itself has rubbished the short seller\u2019s allegations as being \u2018baseless and discredited and born of <strong>mala fide (In bad faith; dishonestly)<\/strong> intent to hurt the group\u2019s reputation\u2019, and is weighing legal action. Notwithstanding how the conglomerate might move to address the concerns raised in the short seller\u2019s report as well as those of domestic investors who appear to have turned <strong>chary (Characterized by great caution and wariness) <\/strong>of the group\u2019s stocks, India\u2019s regulators including SEBI and the Reserve Bank of India have an opportunity, nay an obligation, to clear the air by <strong>allaying (Lessen the intensity of or calm) <\/strong>fears of any broader systemic contagion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even granting that the group\u2019s stocks do not have a significant presence or weight on the major benchmark stock indices, and private equity research reports have sought to <strong>downplay (Represent as less significant or important) <\/strong>concerns about the banking sector\u2019s overall exposure to the group, there can be little argument that the major state-owned banks and the LIC are key pillars of the country\u2019s financial system. Given the extent of public trust <strong>reposed (Put or confide something in a person or thing) <\/strong>in these companies in the form of savers\u2019 deposits and life insurance policies as well as taxpayer resources that have been invested to keep the PSU lenders adequately capitalised, financial system regulators would be serving the larger public interest by pre-emptively communicating messages of reassurance. Regulators could also enhance credibility in India as an investment destination by tightening not just the listing requirements but more crucially the enforcement actions in case of <strong>egregious (Conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible) <\/strong>breaches of the laws. The global debate over the credibility of credit ratings that has surfaced from time to time, whether <strong>in the wake of (following (someone or something), especially as a consequence)<\/strong> the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, or the global financial crisis of 2007-08, is also a concern that India\u2019s regulators need to re-engage with. At a time when India holds the G-20 presidency, authorities must ensure the regulatory framework is seen in nothing less than the best light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to update your vocabulary on an ongoing basis?
