Need to set up National Asset Management Company to address NPAs issue: FICCI

29 May 2014 Evaluate

To address the challenges posed by stressed assets in the banking system, Industry body FICCI has suggested setting up of a National Asset Management Company (NAMCO). Highlighting the need for pro-active and preventive approach to ensure speedy revival of the economy, FICCI President Sidharth Birla said that it is imperative for the government and the RBI to establish NAMCO which will take over stressed assets from the banking system for effective recovery and rehabilitation.

According to the industry chamber suggestions, NAMCO should be established as a ‘special purpose’ asset reconstruction company (ARC) with sponsorship of the government with initial capitalisation of up to Rs 5,000 crore that will allow it to build up a sizeable portfolio of stressed assets. Further, it recommended that private sector should hold majority stake at 51 percent in the company, while the government must encourage public sector banks to participate in equity of NAMCO up to 49 percent. NAMCO should issue security receipts of up to 12 years maturity period for long term assets acquired by it. FICCI further suggested that NAMCO should focus on large ticket stressed assets mainly in Infrastructure, Power, Steel and Telecom sectors.

Indian banking industry is the most dominant segment of the country’s financial sector and plays an imperative role in the economic development of the country. Banks help to boost economic growth by allocating savings to investments that have potential to yield higher returns. Industry, being highly correlated to economic scenario, is under pressure due to prevailing economic slowdown leading to rise in NPAs level of banks. The top 36 banks of India have reported gross NPAs of Rs 2,34,014 crore by March 2014, a 36 per cent jump from Rs 1,71,853 crore on year-on-year basis.
