INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Financial year 2016-17 (FY2017) began on a positive note. India had closed FY2016 with growth in real GDP of 7.9%

and a growth in gross value added (GVA) of 7.8%. Despite two disconcerting facts - namely, the high level and

proportion of the banking sector’s non-performing assets coupled with a muted growth in bank credit - there were

expectations of India achieving a GDP growth rate somewhere between 7.5% and 8% in FY2017.

Unfortunately, that has not occurred. The second advance estimates of national income forecast by the Central Statistics

Office released on 28 February 2017 suggest a real GDP growth of 7.1% for FY2017; and a real gross value added (GVA)

growth of 6.7%. Both estimates are significantly lower than what the economy achieved in the previous year.

On 8 November 2016, the Government announced demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 banknotes, which represented

86% of the currency in circulation. Contemporary evidence suggested significant disruption arising out of unprecedented


cash constraints throughout the economy. For lending institutions in particular, the impact of lower collection efficiencies

was quite severe, and resulted in poorer credit growth.

Growth in bank credit continued to be subdued. Thanks to the overhang of NPAs, it grew only by 5.2% in FY2017 versus

10.2% in the previous year. On the liability side, demonetization led to an unnatural growth in bank deposits, which

increased by 11.9% in FY2017 compared to 9.1% in FY2016. Awash with post-demonetization liquidity, the banks

significantly reduced their incremental marginal cost based lending rates in January 2017. This has created a potentially

alarming situation in the banking sector, especially for the public sector banks. On the one hand, these institutions remain

saddled with high levels of NPAs from which they earn little or no returns and need quarterly provisioning to the

detriment of their profits. On the other hand, extra liquidity has forced a reduction in lending rates which, in turn, reduced

the net income margin from new lending. Without exaggeration, it is fair to say that the state of most banks continue to be

alarming.

How FY2018 plays out depends upon two factors: the investment appetite of the country and a perennial annual variable

called the monsoons. Regarding the former, there is still no sign of even a modest upsurge in private investments as firms

continue to leverage efficiency improvements and squeeze the best out of existing capacities. As far as the latter is

concerned, the India Meteorological Department has come out with an initial forecast of a normal monsoon. That remains

to be seen. It will only be after August 2017.

On the positive side, the roll out of the nation-wide Goods and Service Tax (GST) in FY2018 ought to aid growth. It is

only in FY2019 that the country will begin to see the overall benefits of this key economic reform. Equally, the

Insolvency and Bankruptcy code ought to finally create a market for stressed assets; and, all other things being equal,

reduced bank lending rates should make borrowing more attractive than before.

Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) continued to grow their share in the financial services industry. As per data

published by RBI in its Financial Stability Report of December 2016, NBFCs have outperformed Scheduled Commercial

Banks (SCBs) on growth in advances and in asset quality.
