Financial Sector Assessment of India (October 2017)

Core Content

The Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) update for India, conducted by a joint IMF-World Bank mission in 2016 and 2017, highlights the evolving landscape of India's financial sector. Despite strong economic growth and increased financial development, the sector faces significant challenges, particularly in the form of high nonperforming assets (NPAs), slow corporate deleveraging, and the need for structural reforms. The report identifies key vulnerabilities and recommends policies to strengthen the financial system and promote market development.

Key Financial Sector Vulnerabilities

High NPAs: The top 12 cases account for 25 percent of total NPA exposure, and the top 40 cases account for about 60 percent. PSBs have the highest levels of stressed assets, reaching 15.6 percent of gross loans by end-March 2017.
Slow Corporate Deleveraging: Corporate balance sheets remain weak, with significant challenges in debt repayment capacity, especially in infrastructure, metals, engineering, and transportation sectors.
Weak Capital Positions in PSBs: PSBs have lower capital adequacy ratios (12%) compared to private banks (15.5%). They require additional capital and provisioning to address NPAs.
Limited NPA Resolution Uptake: Existing debt restructuring schemes have had limited success due to uneven loss absorption capacity among lenders.
Bank-Sovereign Linkages: The high level of state ownership in PSBs and the reliance on government securities for SLR requirements may hinder private credit growth.

Financial Sector Overview

The Indian financial system has grown significantly since the 2011 FSAP, with the size of the financial system remaining stable at 136% of GDP, and doubling in nominal terms.
Banks account for 60% of financial system assets, with 70% held by PSBs. The state-owned LIC and Employees' Provident Fund dominate insurance and pensions.
The corporate bond market is small (15% of GDP) and dominated by private placements and financial sector issuers.
Financial markets are characterized by a well-developed government bond market (42% of GDP), a large but less liquid corporate bond market, and a growing equity market (73% of GDP).
Financial inclusion has improved, with transaction accounts penetration reaching 65% of adults in 2015, thanks to initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) and digitalization.

Macrofinancial Conditions and Risks

India's growth has slowed to 5.7% in the first quarter of FY2017/18, primarily due to structural weaknesses in the corporate and banking sectors and transitory shocks like the demonetization and GST rollout.
The current account and fiscal positions have improved due to low oil prices and fiscal consolidation, with a budget deficit targeted at 3.2% of GDP in FY2017/18.
Continued farm loan waivers may undermine credit culture and have lasting effects on banks' asset quality and willingness to lend to farmers.
The demonetization initiative initially boosted bank liquidity but led to a decline in deposits, highlighting the need for greater digital transaction adoption.

Bank Resilience

Stress tests show that the largest banks are resilient, with strong capital buffers and profitability.
PSBs are more vulnerable, with capital needs ranging from 0.75% to 1.5% of GDP under different scenarios.
The most vulnerable banks (Stressed Banks) could face capital shortfalls of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets in the severe adverse scenario.

Financial Sector Oversight Framework

The supervisory framework is robust, but there is a need for greater independence for the RBI and clarification of its legal powers over PSBs.
The legal authority over public listed company reporting should be transferred to SEBI.
Commodities markets should be unified under a single regulatory framework.
A special resolution regime for financial institutions is planned, aiming to align with international standards.
The National Housing Bank (NHB) should transfer its oversight function to the RBI and ownership to the Ministry of Finance (MOF) to improve funding and regulatory efficiency.

Market Development Priorities

State Ownership and Competition in Banking: Reducing the state's footprint in banking and promoting private sector participation is crucial for efficiency and reducing moral hazard.
Long-term Finance: A cascade diagnostic on infrastructure finance is needed to identify reform areas and improve leverage of public resources.
Financial Inclusion and Digitalization: Encouraging digital payments and shifting government and private sector payments to electronic platforms can boost financial inclusion and usage.

Conclusion

The report emphasizes the need for structural reforms, improved governance, and stronger financial oversight to address vulnerabilities and support sustainable growth. It calls for recapitalization of PSBs, reform of the PSL program, and the development of a more resilient and inclusive financial sector.
