Commenting on the Financial Stability report (FSR), Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that the Non Performing Assets (NPA) situation is under control as the economic conditions are showing signs of improvement. He pointed to some factors mentioned in the FSR including the numbers of declining weak companies and the number of stressed companies deleveraging quite fast. Jaitley further said that there are also some positive indications about their ability to pay back to the banks itself.
He highlighted that the report also states that after the Asset Quality Review exercise, the valuation of banks' share will itself increase and therefore in future it will help in capitalization. On financial performance of banks, Jaitley said that the public sector banks have collectively made an operational profit of Rs 1.40 lakh crore even in the midst of challenges. Gross NPAs of public sector banks (PSBs) went up to 7.30 per cent as of December 2015, from 5.43 per cent as of March 2015. In absolute terms, the reading increased to Rs 3,61,731 lakh crore in December, from Rs 2,67,065 lakh crore in March.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently released the Financial Stability Report in which it stated that Indian economy stands out in terms of growth among other emerging markets and the country’s financial system remains stable.
