Section B: Caselets (40 marks)
•This section consists of Caselets.
•Answer all the questions.
•Each Caselet carries 20 marks.
•Detailed information should form the part of your answer (Word limit 150 to 200 words).
Caselet 1
There is a lacuna in the present T-Bill auction system of RBI. The dealers (investors) are subject to
what is called the ‘Winners Curse’. The value of a T-Bill to a dealer is the price it can fetch in the
secondary market. This is an unobserved random value, which is likely to be common to all dealers.
It is quite unlike the works of art which the Sotheby’s would place at an auction. The price of Mona
Lisa, say, to an avid collector of Da Vinci’s paintings, would be more than what a Picasso collector
would value it. In sharp contrast, market participants are likely to agree on the price of a T-Bill in the
secondary market. Now winning an auction in a discriminatory price method may not be profitable.
For, it would mean that the winner has overestimated the T-Bill value.
Questions:
1. How does the winner in such an auction become the loser due to the ‘winner curse’?
2. Explain the role of primary dealers in the money market.
Caselet 2
In a bid to familiarize banks, exporters and other financial bodies with ‘Forfeiting’, the State Bank of
India (SBI) will soon be setting up a three-man cell at its international division in Mumbai for
advisory purposes. According to Mr. D. Ian Guild, Senior Advisor, Forfeiting & Syndications
Group, Standard Bank, the cell was being set up after a series of meetings with the bank, and is
essentially aimed at spreading the message of Forfeiting as an effective trade financing mechanism
to increase exports. Suggesting that forfeiting was the ideal springboard for effecting a quantum
jump in exports in the medium-term, Mr. Guild said he was confident of aggregating forfeiting
business of $100 millions in 1998 and $250 millions in 1999 in the country. Since its introduction in
1992, Exim Bank had facilitated 69 forfeiting transactions valued at around $75 millions, with credit
periods ranging between 90 days and seven years, and covering the export of goods ranging from
textiles to plant and machinery. The RBI has now permitted all commercial banks to act as
facilitators for forfeiting transactions. Mr. Guild pointed out that forfeiting has not really taken off in
India because exporters and commercial banks lacked the knowledge of the mechanics of the
scheme. In India, the real challenge would be to motivate small and medium exporters to use the
forfeiting route for exports to countries which may not be able to buy on cash terms. Mr. S.
Bhattacharya, deputy general manager, Exim Bank, Calcutta, said: “Payment defaults by overseas
buyers were an integral part of cross-border business and export credit insurance has not been a
comprehensive answer to this problem”. Forfeiting offered an alternative solution, especially to
exporters wishing to penetrate difficult markets for the first time, he pointed out. Some of the top
international forfeiters in the world have stopped accepting forfeiting documents involving Pakistan
and Russia, according to Mr. Amitabh Mehta, Trader and Originator, Forfeiting and Syndications

group, Standard Bank London Ltd. (SBLL). According to Mr. Mehta, forfeiting transactions
involving Pakistan could not be carried out due to poor performance of the banks there. In addition,
the financial status of Pakistan following the nuclear blasts has made it impossible to carry out the
transactions. Similarly, transactions with Russia are being totally rejected by forfeiting due to the
current economic turmoil. Joining the list with Pakistan and Russia are Iraq, Sudan and Nigeria, he
added. Commenting on the Indian situation, Mr. Mehta said, “With its sound banking system, the
country is well placed in the international scene. In fact, there is tremendous potential for forfeiting
in the years to come,” he said. According to him, even after the nuclear tests conducted by India, the
top forfeiters were not worried and continued to accept forfeiting papers to be transacted with India.
Questions:
1. Discuss the mechanism of forfeiting and the role played by banks in forfeiting transactions.
2. How does forfeiting differ from factoring?

•Answer all the questions.
•Each question carries 15 marks.
•Detailed information should form the part of your answer (Word limit 200 to 250 words).
