Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Banking sector reforms in India are aimed at induction of best international practices and technological changes for competing globally. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has time and again emphasised transparency, diversification of ownership and strong corporate governance to mitigate the prospects of systemic risks in the banking sector. Banking sector reforms have supported the transition of the Indian economy to a higher growth path, while significantly improving the stability of the financial system. In comparison with the pre-reform period, the Indian banking system today is more stable and efficient. However, the gains of the past decade need to be consolidated, so that these could be translated to drive the institutions, markets and practices into a mature financial system that can meet the challenges of globalisation. The banking system would, therefore, not only need to be stable, but also supportive of still higher levels of planned investments by channelling financial resources more efficiently from surplus to deficit sectors. Competitive pressures as well as prudential regulatory requirements have made banks risk-averse as reflected in their tendency to investment in relatively risk-free gilt instruments. The behaviour and strategies of banking business need changes in favour of risk-taking even while performing core activities. Also, there is a need to ensure long-term finance to support development and growth in the economy, even as restructuring takes place through mergers and universal banking. The present book addresses issues like Basel ? II Accord guidelines, second generation banking sector reforms, cost-benefit and productivity analysis of Indian banks, danger zone banks, privatisation and comparative efficiency of Indian banks and the recent reform measures. Vital statistics regarding the Indian banking sector and the recent Annual Policy Statement, 2008-09 of the RBI has also been discussed. About the author Dr. R.K.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011 the World Bank—with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—launched the Global Findex database, the world's most comprehensive data set on how adults save, borrow, make payments, and manage risk. Drawing on survey data collected in collaboration with Gallup, Inc., the Global Findex database covers more than 140 economies around the world. The initial survey round was followed by a second one in 2014 and by a third in 2017. Compiled using nationally representative surveys of more than 150,000 adults age 15 and above in over 140 economies, The Global Findex Database 2017: Measuring Financial Inclusion and the Fintech Revolution includes updated indicators on access to and use of formal and informal financial services. It has additional data on the use of financial technology (or fintech), including the use of mobile phones and the Internet to conduct financial transactions. The data reveal opportunities to expand access to financial services among people who do not have an account—the unbanked—as well as to promote greater use of digital financial services among those who do have an account. The Global Findex database has become a mainstay of global efforts to promote financial inclusion. In addition to being widely cited by scholars and development practitioners, Global Findex data are used to track progress toward the World Bank goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The database, the full text of the report, and the underlying country-level data for all figures—along with the questionnaire, the survey methodology, and other relevant materials—are available at www.worldbank.org/globalfindex.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India embarked on reintegration with the world economy in the early 1990s. At first, a certain limited opening took place emphasising equity flows by certain kinds of foreign investors. This opening has had myriad interesting implications in terms of both microeconomics and macroeconomics. A dynamic process of change in the economy and in economic policy then came about, with a co-evolution between the system of capital controls, macroeconomic policy, and the internationalisation of firms including the emergence of Indian multinationals.Through this process, de facto openness has risen sharply. De facto openness has implied a loss of monetary policy autonomy when exchange rate pegging was attempted. The exchange rate regime has evolved towards greater flexibility.

Book excerpt: The Role of Banks in Economic Development The economic development of a country relies heavily on the pivotal role played by banks. Banks not only contribute significantly to economic growth but also play a crucial role in ensuring the financial stability of a nation. In emerging economies, banks hold special significance for three primary reasons. First, they actively foster the development of financial intermediaries and markets. Second, due to the absence of well-developed equity and bond markets, the corporate sector heavily relies on banks to fulfill its financing requirements. Third, in emerging markets like India, banks address the needs of a vast number of savers from the household sectors who prioritize stable income, liquidity, and the safety of their money, primarily due to their limited capacity to manage financial risks effectively. Evolution of Banking in a Changing Landscape Over the years, the forms of banking have undergone transformation in response to the evolving needs of the economy. Deregulation, technological advancements, and globalization have brought about a significant transformation in the banking and financial system. Banks have expanded their operations into areas that were traditionally beyond their scope, while non-banking intermediaries have started to assume many of the functions traditionally performed by banks. Consequently, banks find themselves competing not only amongst themselves but also with non-banking entities. This competition has intensified over time, compelling banking institutions worldwide to introduce innovative products, identify new sources of income, and diversify into non-traditional functions. Developed countries' financial institutions have effectively harnessed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a marketing tool in this regard. Challenges and Transformation in the Indian Banking Sector The Indian banking sector, which operated in a bureaucratic fashion before 1991, underwent a massive transformation following the opening up of the economy. The sector has faced unprecedented challenges with the advent of Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization (LPG) in the Indian economy. Today, banks in India confront intense pressure in the volatile marketplace, driven by steep competition, globalization, escalating customer demands, and heightened exposure to credit risks. This pressure compels banks to explore innovative ways to enhance their profitability and sustainability.

Download or read book Consolidation in Indian Banking Sector Evidence and Challenges Ahead written by Brajesh Tiwari and published by . This book was released on 2013-03-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global mantra Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) process which was started in early 1990s has brought so many changes in the economic scene of the country. This process of economic reforms has brought competition not only from India but also from Overseas. In the corporate world it is said if you can't beat your competitor then go with them i.e. merge your company with your rival or take them over. So all it boils down to is the survival of the fittest. This process helps in attaining greater market share, acquiring additional brands, cannibalizing competing brands, realizing improved infrastructure, creating new synergies, and capitalizing on efficiencies and economies of scale or to globalize in the shortest span of time. Banking system is deemed as the bloodline of any economy and banks are trustees of public money. Therefore, its depositors have higher stake in welfare and growth of banks than its shareholders. The failure of a bank has more widespread implications than a failure of a manufacturing company. The banking sector reforms, introduced in the early nineties and continued since then, from part of the overall economic reform programme aimed at improving the competitiveness and efficiency of the economic system. The banking reforms, similarly, were also aimed at making banks more efficient and viable. Because of these reforms the capital adequacy of the Indian banks is now on par with international standards. Similarly, the level of net non-performing assets has come down to very manageable levels. An issue that is in the forefront of banking reforms currently is that of bank consolidation. To meet the challenges of global economy and to face increased global competition, Indian banks are changing their strategic focus and re-orienting their operations though restructuring processes to achieve the efficiencies required to survive and integrate into global economy. Prior to 1999, the amalgamations of banks were primarily triggered by the weak financials of the banks being merged, whereas in the post-1999 period, there have also been mergers between healthy banks. However, merger of public sector healthy banks have not taken place till now. Consolidation will provide Indian banks the 'size advantage' that most foreign banks have. Recent reports on banking sector often indicate that India is slowly but surely moving from a regime of `large number of small banks' to `small number of large banks'. The Government of India and RBI has also mentioned at several occasions that an early consolidation in banking industry is needed. But before banks go in for mergers, they need to chalk out a detailed plan on how to tackle challenges such as technology integration, HR management, and many other issues into consideration. This Book "Consolidation in Indian Banking Sector: Evidence and Challenges Ahead" is a modest attempt to cover all important issues regarding M&A in Indian Banking Sector. The whole study is divided into five chapters. The first chapter: Introduction, is introductory in nature briefly traces out the evolution of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in India in banking sector. The second chapter: Review of Literature; focuses on the review of related studies of mergers and acquisitions undertaken by different scholars and researchers. The third chapter: briefly discusses M&A activity in Indian Banking Industry and also covers various laws related to M&A. The fourth chapter: Mergers and Acquisitions in the Banking Industry: An Analysis -I; makes a comparison of actual and predicted values of selected variables in banks under study. With the help of statistical tools the effectiveness of M&A has been tested. The fifth chapter: Mergers and Acquisitions in the Banking Industry: An Analysis -II; analyses the performance of the selected banks by using various financial ratios.

Download or read book Reintegrating India with the World Economy written by T. N. Srinivasan and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After nearly five decades of insulation from world markets, state controls, and slow growth, India embarked in 1991 on a process of liberalization of controls and progressive integration with the global economy in an effort to put its economy on a path of rapid and sustained growth. Despite major changes in the government since then, the thrust on reforms has been maintained. According to the World Bank, only 10 out of 145 countries had more rapid growth than India at over 6 percent per year in the 1990s and two had the same as India's. In this study, T.N. Srinivasan and Suresh D. Tendulkar analyze the economics and politics of India's recent and growing integration with the world economy. They argue that this process has to be nurtured and accelerated if India is to eradicate its poverty and take its rightful place in the global economic system.The study covers the historical roots and the political economy of India's late integration; domestic and external constraints on integration; external capital inflows including foreign direct investment; and India's emerging comparative advantage in the information technology industry and services, particularly computer software. The final chapter offers policy recommendations including proposals that India could make at the ongoing Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations.
