CRISIL launches Gilt Index

13 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Rating agency CRISIL has launched the -- CRISIL Gilt Index -- which will track the performance of government securities. The CRISIL Gilt Index will provide market participants a realistic and easily accessible benchmark to analyse and measure the performance of sovereign investments. This is the eighth index introduced by CRISIL and reflects its ongoing effort to develop effective benchmarks for the Indian debt markets.

The Indian debt market is dominated by government securities which constitute over three-fourth of the total debt outstanding as of end-June 2011. Even in terms of trading activity, government securities are the most liquid; they contribute over 80% of the trading volumes of the debt market. Accordingly, it is critical to have a benchmark which closely tracks and reflects the performance of government securities. Through its Gilt Index, CRISIL aims at providing a realistic representation of performance of the most liquid and dominant segment of Indian debt market.

The CRISIL Gilt Index comprises twelve most liquid government securities. For the construction of the index, CRISIL has adopted a two-fold approach based on liquidity and the amount outstanding. The selection of government securities is based on liquidity, while allocation of weights is based on the amount outstanding.

Credit Rating Information Services of India popularly known as CRISIL was incorporated in 1987. It operates as ratings, research, risk and policy advisory company. During 1990-91 the company provided technical assistance and training to Rating Agency Malaysia Berhard and MAALOT, the Israeli Securities Rating Company.
