The Reserve Bank of India was established on April 1, 1935. Headquartered in Mumbai. RBI was established in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.

  Since the first publication in 1996, numerous studies have used the data published in Economic Freedom of the World to examine the impact of economic freedom on investment, economic growth, income levels, and poverty rates. This report helps to measure economic freedom in an economy.

  
  

  India reported a marginal decrease in the size of government from 8.22 to 7.16.
