- Bond it like never before
  How can the corporate bond market be broadened? A question haunting since the last 20 years. In almost every other budget there is a reference to the deepening of the corporate bond markets.

One of the reasons for this is lack of takers for lower-rated and longer papers. Regulators such as PFRDA and IRDA need to liberalize investment norms for the entities they regulate, who have appetite for lower rated bonds....
