......An interesting idea recently suggested by RBI Deputy Governor Subir Gokarn of popularising “paper gold” — financial savings instruments which are backed by gold — is worth pursuing immediately. Long available in centres like Singapore, these products in effect call upon banks to buy and sell gold at market determined prices so that their customers can enjoy all the benefits of gold investment without the hassles of storing it physically. The craze for physical gold will hopefully come down then.
