ABOUT UDAIBIR SARAN DAS

With four decades at the intersection of central banking, finance, public policy, and financial development, my work focuses on macro-financial governance, financial stability, sovereign balance sheets, and the design of strong, well-governed economic and financial oversight institutions across advanced, emerging, and developing economies.I serve in senior advisory, teaching, and evaluative roles with institutions including OMFIF, the Bank of England (Centre for Central Banking Studies), NCAER, ORF America, the Kautilya School of Public Policy, and IFSWF, and collaborate with the Toronto Centre and CSEP. Previously, I spent over 25 years at the International Monetary Fund, where I held senior leadership roles in the Monetary and Capital Markets Department and guided global work on financial stability, systemic risk, international financial standards, and financial sector assessments.My current work examines financial fragmentation, the evolution of central banking, and the interaction between sovereign asset-liability management, debt sustainability, climate finance, and international finance—particularly in emerging and developing economies where institutional capacity, market depth, and policy credibility remain binding constraints. A central theme is how financial oversight institutions adapt under uncertainty, geopolitical realignment, and competing models of capitalism.Teaching, convening, and capacity-building are integral to my work. I engage with central bankers, financial regulators, policymakers, students, and practitioners to connect macro-financial risks with institutional responses and to strengthen policy frameworks that are proportionate, credible, and resilience-oriented.My writing appears in OMFIF, ORF America, NCAER, IFSWF, and SSRN.
