Finance ministry and RBI working in tandem for solution to the stressed assets: Jayant Sinha

20 Jan 2016 Evaluate

A day after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan and two of his deputies met with banks and other financial institutions to discuss stressed loans in the banking system,  Minister of State for finance Jayant Sinha has stated that the finance ministry and the Reserve Bank of India are working in tandem on a comprehensive solution to the stressed assets held by banks through asset-quality reviews followed by specific solutions.

Sinha further acknowledging that bad loans posed a major economic risk for India, said that the stressed assets fund being set up under National Infrastructure Investment Fund (NIIF) is expected to play a key role in the process, making available equity to troubled companies.

The minister said that we have been spending a lot of time on public sector banks,outlining key pillars of intervention that will address the bigger universe of stressed assets and not just bad loans. Now we have to work out the right way to provision for them,' said Sinha, adding that the solution would avoid targeting banks. 'After extensive discussion with experts, RBI and banks, our conclusion was that a badbank approach was not necessarily the best,' he said, elaborating on the three-pronged solution. 'One is to get NIIF started with a stressed-assets fund, which is what we are going to do.' The second pertains to companies getting extensions on payments and loan haircuts while the third calls for taking over assets and induction of new management to effect a turnaround when this is possible.

Sinha said many of the stressed assets stem from industry wide issues, such as the ones that afflict power distribution, steel and textiles. 'There the intervention has to be at multiple levels. At the account level, it has to be with the banks, and it has to be at the industry level.' The global experience has been that the faster such problems are dealt with the better.
