Finance Ministry sets up PDMC to manage government borrowings, cash management

06 Oct 2016 Evaluate

With an overall objective of deepening bond markets, the Finance Ministry has set up a Public Debt Management Cell (PDMC) to rationalize government borrowings and better cash management. The PDMC which will be initially housed at the RBI’s Delhi office will be upgraded to a statutory Public Debt Management Agency (PDMA) in about two years.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that in February 2015 Budget speech he had proposed to set up a PDMA to deepen Indian Bond market and now “I intend to begin this process this year by setting up a PDMA which will bring both India’s external borrowings and domestic debt under one roof.”

The PDMC which will be converted into PDMA within two years will allow separation of debt management functions from RBI to PDMA in a gradual and seamless manner, without causing market disruptions. The PDMC will have only advisory functions to avoid conflict with statutory functions of the RBI. Besides, it will plan government borrowings, including market borrowings and domestic borrowing activities like issuance of Sovereign Gold Bond. Also, it will manage government’s liabilities, monitor cash balances, improve cash forecasting, foster a liquid and efficient market for government securities along with advising government on matters related to investment, capital market operations and administration of interest rates on small savings, among others.

Furthermore, PDMC will develop an Integrated Debt Database System (IDMS) as a centralised database for all liabilities of government, on a near real-time basis and undertake requisite preparatory work for PDMA. Ministry further said that the transition process from PDMC to PDMA would be implemented by a joint implementation committee (JIC). The PDMC would be staffed by 15 debt managers from Budget Division, RBI, current Middle Office and other government units.
