The bank had earlier announced that it would double its medium term note borrowings to shore up the tier-II capital to $10 billion this fiscal.
Modi said a separate rating agency would help the economies of the member countries as well as other developing nations.
'The Indian economy is in slowdown and growth may stay slow,' notes Devangshu Datta.
