Credit rating agency, ICRA in its latest report has said that with ability to successfully leverage technology for deposit mobilisation, the private banks can take more space in the banking sector advances in the future. According to the report Private Banks’ advances market share may increase to 38 to 40 per cent by 2019-20 from 19.9 per cent as on March 31, 2014 and 27.5 per cent during the preceding financial year (FY17).
The growth is considered based on the capital constraints of public sector banks and assuming an incremental market share of 80 percent for private sector banks and a credit growth of 7-9 percent for the entire banking sector during the current financial year and in 2019-20.
The report found improvement in the private sector banks’ deposits share which has increased to 23.5 percent as on June 30, 2017 from 19 percent as on June 30, 2014. ICRA further said that despite challenges like increasing competitive intensity and difficulty in growth balance due to the buoyant debt capital markets, the private sector banks have performed well and capitalised on the opportunities by delivering a credit growth at 3-year CAGR of 17.8 percent as against 2.5 percent for public sector banks and with relatively better asset quality.
The report noted that in order to grow advances with an estimate of 38-40 percent by 2019-2020, the banks need to mobilise the requisite quantum of deposits and for this, ICRA said that leveraging technology will be a key driver of growth.
