Macro Financial Conditions (7) What did the IMF FSAP report (2013) say?

9

• Remarkable progress toward developing a stable financial system. • The prominent role of the state in the financial sector contributes to a

build-up of fiscal conPngent liabiliPes and creates a risk of capital misallocaPon that may constrain economic growth(?)

• Despite risks related to worsening bank asset quality and renewed pressures on systemic liquidity, financial system vulnerabiliPes appear manageable.

• Sharp credit expansion with recent economic slowdown puWng pressure on banks’ asset quality, especially for infrastructure and priority sector (?).

• Group concentraPons have reached troubling levels at some banks. • Risk of reversal of capital flows and a repeat of liquidity pressures like

2008. • Stress tests :banks’ substanPal buffers of high quality assets (cash and

SLR Gsecs) enable them to deal with such pressures.

Formation of NPAs in the Banking Sector(5) Four Key Reasons

42

1.  Regulatory Forbearance in the ahermath of the North AtlanPc Financial Crisis Ø We behaved as if we had similar crisis

2.  Sharp fall in commodity prices leading to sharp declines in profitability of sectors such as steel

3.  Aggressive Government promoPon of public-private-partnership (PPP) for infrastructure Ø  EnthusiasPc Response from private sector Ø  Entry of heavily leveraged companies Ø  Problems in implementaPon of projects Ø  Economic Slowdown

4.  Governance issues with the management of select public sector banks Ø  Government behest? Ø  Inadequate due diligence Ø  CorrupPon?

RBI was a Pioneer in Initiating Macro Prudential Policy Counter-cyclical Prudential Policies / Dynamic provisioning (1)

• IMF - “India is a pioneer in the use of macro prudenPal policy and has made conPnued efforts to strengthen systemic oversight. RBI has long-standing experience in the use of macro prudenPal instruments to counter credit cycles” – IMF FSAP Update (Jan 2013)

• Macro prudenPal policies 2005-08 ü Capital risk weights were raised between 2005 and 2008 to

counter rapid credit growth in five sectors v  capital markets, v housing, v retail, v commercial real estate, and v  non-deposit taking NBFCs

Counter-cyclical Prudential Policies / Dynamic provisioning (3)

45

•  Regulatory Forbearance 2008-10 ü  Provisioning requirements for most standard assets reduced

to a uniform level of 0.40 per cent; ü  Risk weights on banks’ exposures to certain sectors revised

downward ü  One-Pme measures

Ø  PrudenPal regulaPons for restricted accounts modified as temporary measure for applicaPons received up to March 31, 2009

Ø  Restructured accounts to be treated as standard assets, if standard before the crisis (September 1, 2008), even if non-performing at the Pme of restructuring.

•  Did we overdo the counter-cyclical policies?

•  Insurance Funds ü Great need for life, health, property insurance, etc ü Financial stability for families

• Pension Funds: Great PotenPal ü Higher longevity, urbanizaPon, breakdown of joint families

• New banks take a decade to provide real compePPon to established incumbents ü Except through use of legacy free new technology ü Greater innovaPon and new products

• No privaPsaPon of public sector banks ü A_empt at be_er governance through Bank Board Bureau ü ExisPng constraints remain

64

Time for Bold New Strategy •  Phased programme for acPve disinvestment towards privaPsaPon

ü 18 public sector banks excluding SBI and subsidiaries ü All have wide countrywide spread with some regional concentraPon ü All have significant proporPon of widely held privately owned shares

•  Some best exisPng private banks had government parentage ü ICICI, Axis Bank, IDFC Bank ü So newly privaPsed banks can follow suit: will provide new compePPon

quickly • Need to deal with unions: opportune Pme

ü Current age structure is highly skewed to 50 + ü ExisPng employees can be grandfathered

• M and As aher privaPsaPon will result in organic market based consolidaPon

•  PrivaPsed banks will be widely held

Looking Ahead(5) Tackling NPAs

65

• AcPve ConsideraPon from both MoF and RBI •  Transparent programme for capitalisaPon : Is it enough? • Bankruptcy law enacted

ü Need to move fast to implement it • Need to clean PSB balance sheets

ü Bank managements could be apprehensive re: valuaPons etc ü Fear of CAG/CVC/CBI/CIC

Ø Establish Bad Bank with public sector ownership ü Special governance proviisions ü Board populated with ciPzens above suspicion

§ As in rescue of Satyam • AcPvate and strengthen ARCs to take over NPAs in market based mechanism

• Carefully re-examine PPPs : where are they appropriate?
