Banking system on right track; NPA resolution to spur rapid credit expansion: Panagariya

14 Aug 2017 Evaluate

The outgoing Vice Chairman of Niti Aayog, Arvind Panagariya has applauded the measures taken for the resolution of bad loans in the banking system and has said that resolution of bad loans in the banking system is on 'right track' and will ‘open the door’ to rapid credit expansion and growth. He said that “Now we are on absolutely right track. Once we solve the NPAs issue, it will open up also the door to faster credit expansion. If this is done, this problem of twin balance sheet issue (over-leveraged companies and bad-loan-encumbered banks) will get addressed at the result of this.” He added that banks will now be better equipped to lend and on the sides of borrowers there will be greater appetite.

Panagariya termed the non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans problem as a ‘legacy issue’, and said that even after three years of the NDA government taking charge, it has not gone away. As part of its strategy to rein in the unacceptable level of NPAs, Reserve Bank of India recently identified 12 accounts for Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) proceedings with each of them having over Rs 5,000 crore of outstanding loans, accounting for 25 per cent of total NPAs of banks.

He further talking on the issue of merger of a weak bank with a strong bank said that consolidation of public sector banks (PSBs) is necessary, also because the pool of talented people who have the specialisation of running the banking business is limited one. The finance ministry has sought help of NITI Aayog and global consultancy firms to examine the possibility of next round of consolidation of PSU banks with an aim to create a few lenders of global size and scale.
