Reserve Bank of India and the European Central Bank have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening cooperation in the field of central banking. The agreement was signed by Sanjay Malhotra, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, and Christine Lagarde on the sidelines of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) meetings held in Basel.

According to the official press release issued by the RBI, the new MoU updates the earlier agreement signed in 2015. It establishes a framework for regular exchange of information, policy dialogue and technical cooperation between the two central banking institutions in areas of mutual interest.

The agreement is expected to deepen collaboration on key issues related to monetary policy, financial stability, banking supervision, payment systems and emerging financial technologies. Experts believe the partnership will help both institutions strengthen coordination while responding to evolving global economic and financial challenges.

The signing comes at a time when central banks across the world are dealing with concerns related to inflation, market volatility, digital banking expansion and global economic uncertainty. Improved cooperation between major financial regulators is considered increasingly important for maintaining stability in international financial systems.

Financial analysts say the MoU will also encourage greater exchange of expertise, regulatory practices and technical knowledge between India and the European financial ecosystem. It may further support innovation, institutional capacity building and enhanced understanding of global banking standards.

The RBI stated that the agreement reflects the long-standing relationship between the two institutions and is expected to provide a stronger foundation for future engagement and collaboration in central banking matters.
