The news is true. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) norms in the construction industry in India are likely to be relaxed by the government of India. The current real estate market is highly facing liquidity crunch for which the government is looking to boost up the flow of investments in the sector. The current FDI policy demands a lock-in period of three years for the investments made in India by foreign players. The three-year time is applicable right from the date of receipt or from the date of completion of minimum capitalization, whichever is later. But the draft policy proposes to relax this lock-in period for FDIs.

The Reserve Bank of India kept key interest rate unchanged in the third monetary policy review. The RBI status quo was widely anticipated by the market participants. Repo and reverse rates stood at 7.25% and 6.25% respectively. At the same time, cash reserve ratio (CRR) and statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) retained at 4% and 21.5% respectively. Commenting on the monetary policy announcement, Kamal Khetan, CMD, Sunteck Realty said, 'RBI's move to keep the repo rate unchanged was an expected one considering the recent rate cuts. However, several measures like increase in bank lending to productive sectors & foreign portfolio investors being allowed to invest in G-secs after their investment limits are utilized signal the central bank's pro-activeness to mobilize the Indian economy.

What caused the housing boom of the 2000s? A number of researchers havesuggested that loose monetary policy during the first half of the 2000s was aprimary cause of the substantial run-up in house prices in many countries.However, using a common statistical approach, we find that monetary policywas not the main factor. That should not be surprising: Although low interestrates raise house prices, the increase in prices during the mid-2000s was muchlarger than the historical relationship between the two variables would suggest.Instead, we investigate further the link between the marked loosening in termsand standards for mortgage credit and the most rapid increases in house prices.This link provides some evidence for a story where credit provision and thedemand for housing fed on each other and helped spur the housing boom. Ourwork suggests a greater role for macroprudential regulation rather than monetarypolicy in managing asset price booms.- Jane Dokko, Brian M. Doyle, Michael T. Kiley, Jinill Kim,Shane Sherlund, Jae Sim and Skander Van Den Heuvel
