Download or read book Non Banking Financial Companies Role in India s Development written by R. Kannan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the trend and growth of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), both from balance sheet and regulations view-points. It further investigates the role of NBFCs in furthering financial inclusion, last-mile delivery of credit and their contribution to financial sector. Since the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) formally recognised the NBFCs in India in 1964, they have increased significantly in terms of size, form and types of products and instruments. They have also managed their asset quality better than banks. Traditionally they were dependent on banks for funds, but after the global financial crisis they began to tap the capital market. Concomitantly, the RBI regulations have closed the fault lines and tightened rules. The book assesses whether NBFCs in India should be treated as shadow banks, discusses how to achieve the right amount of regulation and safeguards without unduly stifling the NBFC sector, and studies the funding opportunities and challenges of NBFCs in India. As such, it serves as a basic reference for students in finance, and a valuable tool for professionals such as policymakers and investment analysts and other stakeholders in the finance area.

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 Indian Banking in the Globalised World written by R. K. Uppal and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK 17 years of financial reforms in India have created a fairly sound framework for higher growth and integration with the world economy. Though the task is by no means complete, the groundwork that has been laid will allow us to move rapidly towards the financial architecture that is appropriate for a country of India?s size and aspirations.

The country has moved on to a higher growth trajectory.

Download or read book Social Banking and Social Finance written by Roland Benedikter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-13 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 2,000 years, banks have served to facilitate the exchange of money and to provide a variety of economic and financial services. During the most recent financial collapse and subsequent recession, beginning in 2008, banks have been vilified as perpetrators of the crisis, the public distrust compounded by massive public bailouts. Nevertheless, another form of banking has also emerged, with a focus on promoting economic sustainability, investing in community, providing opportunity for the disadvantaged, and supporting social, environmental, and ethical agendas. Social Banking and Social Finance traces the emergence of the “bank with a conscience” and proposes a new approach to banking in the wake of the economic crisis. Featuring innovations and initiatives in banking from Europe, Canada, and the United States, Roland Benedikter presents an alternative to traditional banking practices that are focused exclusively on profit maximization. He argues that social banking is not about changing the system, but about improving some of its core features by putting into use the "triple bottom line" principle of profit-people-planet. Important lessons can be learned by the success of social banks that may be useful for the greater task of improving the global financial system and avoiding economic crises in the future.

This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest advancement in financial technology has posed unprecedented challenges for incumbent banks. This paper analyzes the implications of these challenges on bank competitveness, and explores the factors that could support digital advancement in banks. The analysis shows that the traditionally leading role of banks in advancing financial technology has diminished in recent years, and suggests that onoing efforts to catch up to the digital frontier could lead to a more concentrated banking industry, as smaller and less tech-savvy banks struggle to survive. Cross-country evidence has suggested that banks in high-income economies appear to have been the digital leaders, likely benefiting from a sound digital infrastructure, a strong legal and business environment, and healthy competition. Nonetheless, some digital leaders may fall behind in the coming years in adopting newer technologies due to entrenched consumer behavior favoring older technologies, less active fintech and bigtech companies, and weak bank balance sheets.
