ICICI Bank has built a new team for better monitoring of credit and providing early warning of loans going bad. The bank has taken this step after a sharp rise in its non-performing assets (NPAs) in the last fiscal year.
The credit-monitoring group will track loans on a day-to-day basis (and) develop predictive models for early warning in the financial system. The team will monitor compliance and security structures, develop analytics and create a dashboard for credit monitoring. This group will be separate from existing loan-monitoring teams and is a result of suggestions by consultant McKinsey. The focus will continue to be on resolution of accounts.
The bank’s asset quality weakened further in Q1FY17 as gross non-performing assets as a percentage of gross advances increased to 5.87 percent from 5.82 percent and net NPAs rose to 3.35 percent from Rs 2.98 percent on sequential basis. In absolute terms, gross NPAs were up by 3.7 percent at Rs 27,193 crore and net NPAs jumped 16 percent to Rs 15,041 crore on a QoQ basis.
