This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides new empirical evidence on the impact of financial liberalization on the performance of Indian commercial banks. The analysis focuses on examining the behavior and determinants of bank intermediation costs and profitability during the liberalization period. The empirical results suggest that ownership type has a significant effect on some performance indicators and that the observed increase in competition during financial liberalization has been associated with lower intermediation costs and profitability of the Indian banks.

This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do financial sector reforms necessarily result in expansion of credit to the private sector? How does bank ownership affect the availability of credit to the private sector? Empirical evidence is somewhat mixed on these issues. We use the Indian experience with liberalization of the financial sector to inform this debate. Using bank-level data from 1991-2007, we ask whether public and private banks deployed resources freed up by reduced state preemption to increase credit to the private sector. We find that even after liberalization, public banks allocated a larger share of their assets to government securities than did private banks. Crucially, we also find that public banks were more responsive in allocating relatively more resources to finance the fiscal deficit even during periods when state pre-emption (measured in terms of the requirement to hold government securities as a share of assets) formally declined. These findings suggest that in developing countries, where alternative channels of financing may be limited, government ownership of banks, combined with high fiscal deficits, may limit the gains from financial liberalization.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1991 marked an important watershed in the economic history of post-Independent India. The country went through a severe economic crisis triggered by a serious balance of payments situation. The crisis was converted into an opportunity to introduce some fundamental changes in the content and approach to economic policy. The purpose of this book is to detail the structural reform process undertaken by India and to evaluate its results. In the post-liberalization period, the country has moved to a higher growth path. Objective conditions exist for the economy to grow at a sustained rate of seven per cent. The slow growth in agriculture and the consequent impact of a slower decline in poverty reduction are areas of concern.

This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on Financial System (CFS), popularly known as Narasimham Committee, was set up in 1991 to make recommendations for bringing about the necessary reforms in the financial sector. Narasimham Committee appraised and acknowledged the success and progress of Indian banks since the major banks were nationalized on 19 July 1969. Unfortunately, the developments were witnessed only in the field of expansion and spread of bank branches, generation of huge employment and mobilization of savings rather than also in improvement in efficiency. Besides, corruption, fraud, misutilization in public money, outdated technology, and politicization in policy making were found to be major drawbacks in the real progress of the banks. As the banking sector plays an important and crucial role in the economy of a country for its stabilization and balanced growth, major reforms were urgently needed, after 22 years of nationalization, to revive Indian banks. This was not only in the field of profitability, but also in the overall efficiency, viz., better management of non-performing assets (NPAs), satisfying capital requirements, increased cost effectiveness and control, enhanced customer service, improved technology, establishing competitive interest rate, effective man-power planning, introduction of asset-liability management, better productivity, launching new products, and becoming more competent to face the upcoming challenges and competition from foreign as well as private sector banks in the era of globalization and liberalization. The objectives of the study are to examine the need and relevance of reforms in Indian banks, to assess the efficiency and profitability of Indian banks during reforms from different perspectives, to discuss various issues of NPA management in the light of reforms, to measure the performance of the banks of West Bengal during the reforms, to analyse the role of information technology and its relevancy in Indian banks in the era of reforms, and to impart necessary suggestions for the improvement of the efficiency and profitability of Indian banks.

Download or read book Deregulation and Efficiency of Indian Banks written by Sunil Kumar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​ The goal of this book is to assess the efficacy of India’s financial deregulation programme by analyzing the developments in cost efficiency and total factor productivity growth across different ownership types and size classes in the banking sector over the post-deregulation years. The work also gauges the impact of inclusion or exclusion of a proxy for non-traditional activities on the cost efficiency estimates for Indian banks, and ranking of distinct ownership groups. It also investigates the hitherto neglected aspect of the nature of returns-to-scale in the Indian banking industry. In addition, the work explores the key bank-specific factors that explain the inter-bank variations in efficiency and productivity growth. Overall, the empirical results of this work allow us to ascertain whether the gradualist approach to reforming the banking system in a developing economy like India has yielded the most significant policy goal of achieving efficiency and productivity gains. The authors believe that the findings of this book could give useful policy directions and suggestions to other developing economies that have embarked on a deregulation path or are contemplating doing so.

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. Financial markets and institutions need to evolve considerably in order to keep up with the requirements of Indian firms and Indian investors in coming years.

But even in markets that exist, apart from the equity market for large capitalization stock, the ability to trade consistently at low cost and the tendency of market prices to reflect fundamentals are typically low for most markets. The country has moved on to a higher growth trajectory. To sustain and accelerate the growth momentum, further reforms in the financial sector are called for including a robust infrastructure for credit and an effective regulatory framework This book contains 14 papers, authored by scholars in the field, which deal with various dimensions of emerging financial scenario in India.

Book excerpt: Prior to economic reforms initiated in early 1990s, the banking sector in India suffered from lack of competition, low capital base, inefficiency, and high intermediation costs. The banking industry - dominated by the public sector - was subject to a high degree of financial repression, characterized by administered interest rates and allocated credit. Reforms in India's commercial banking sector had two distinct phases. The first phase of reforms focused mainly on enabling and strengthening measures. The second phase of reforms placed greater emphasis on structural measures and improvement in standards of disclosure and levels of transparency in order to align India's standards with international best practices. Reforms have brought about considerable improvements, as reflected in various parameters relating to capital adequacy, asset quality, profitability, and operational efficiency. Although commercial banks still face the problem of overhang of non-performing assets, high spread, and low profitability in comparison with banks in other emerging market economies, India's reforms - which are examined in this book - have been successful in enhancing the performance of commercial banks in terms of both stability and efficiency parameters.

Download or read book Appraising Public Sector Bank Performance Since Liberalization written by Samir and published by . This book was released on 2023-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the liberalization of the Indian economy in the 1990s, the performance of public sector banks (PSBs) in India has been a subject of evaluation. PSBs have played a crucial role in promoting financial inclusion and extending banking services to underserved populations, particularly in rural and remote areas. They have maintained a dominant market share in the Indian banking sector, despite increasing competition from private and foreign banks. However, PSBs have faced challenges related to non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans, which have affected their profitability and capital adequacy. The government has implemented measures such as recapitalization to address these issues and strengthen PSBs' balance sheets. Governance issues, including political interference and bureaucratic processes, have also impacted their performance. Efforts have been made to improve the governance structure and autonomy of PSBs, including the introduction of measures like the Bank Board Bureau and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. These initiatives aim to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in PSB operations. Overall, while PSBs have made significant contributions to financial inclusion and played a crucial role in the Indian banking sector, their performance since liberalization has been affected by challenges related to NPAs and governance.

Download or read book Banking Sector Liberalization in India written by Christian Roland and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has over the last decades experienced different degrees of repressive policies in the banking sector. This paper focuses on the changing intensity of three policies that are commonly associated with financial repression, namely interest rate controls, statutory pre-emptions and directed credit as well as the effects these policies had. The main findings are that the degree of financial repression has steadily increased between 1960 and 1980, then declined somewhat before rising to a new peak at the end of the 1980s. Since the start of the overall economic reforms in 1991, the level of financial repression has steadily declined. Despite the high degree of financial repression, no statistically significant negative effects on savings, capital formation and financial development could be established, which is contrary to the predictions of the financial liberalization hypothesis.

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 Indian Financial Sector written by Rakesh Mohan and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper traces the story of Indian financial sector over the period 1950–2015. In identifying the trends and turns of Indian financial sector, the paper adopts a three period classification viz., (a) the 1950s and 1960s, which exhibited some elements of instability associated with laissez faire but underdeveloped banking; (b) the 1970s and 1980s that experienced the process of financial development across the country under government auspices, accompanied by a degree of financial repression; and (c) the period since the 1990s till date, that has been characterized by gradual and calibrated financial deepening and liberalization. Focusing more the third period, the paper argues that as a consequence of successive reforms over the past 25 years, there has been significant progress in making interest and exchange rates largely market determined, though the exchange rate regime remains one of managed float, and some interest rates remain administered. Considerable competition has been introduced in the banking sector through new private sector banks, but public sector banks continue have a dominant share in the market. Contractual savings systems have been improved, but pension funds in India are still in their infancy. Similarly, despite the introduction of new private sector insurance companies coverage of insurance can expand much further, which would also provide greater depth to the financial markets. The extent of development along all the segments of the financial market has not been uniform. While the equity market is quite developed, activities in the private debt market are predominantly confined to private placement form and continue to be limited to the bluechip companies. Going forward, the future areas for development in the Indian financial sector would include further reduction of public ownership in banks and insurance companies, expansion of the contractual savings system through more rapid expansion of the insurance and pension systems, greater spread of mutual funds, and development of institutional investors. It is only then that both the equity and debt markets will display greater breadth as well as depth, along with greater domestic liquidity. At the same time, while reforming the financial sector, the Indian authorities had to constantly keep the issues of equity and efficiency in mind.
