Timely equity infusion in MFIs improves overall asset quality: ICRA

08 Dec 2017 Evaluate

Domestic credit rating agency, ICRA in its latest report has said that timely equity infusion in most microfinance institutions (MFIs) has helped to improve their overall asset quality, despite delinquencies pressures continue to persist. It pointed out that the sector received Rs 1,500 crore capital infusion in the first half of FY18 (H1FY18) as against Rs 4,700 crore in FY17 indicating continued support for the MFIs and investor confidence in sectors’ growth potential.

As per the report, the shock of a sharp and sudden dip in asset quality post-demonetisation has so far been absorbed by equity infusion into most MFIs, the pain is not fully over yet as reflected by the analysis of collection efficiencies, delinquencies, profitability, capitalisation and solvency position during the first of FY18. Given the projected growth rate of 25-35 percent over the next three years for MFI in India and the expected higher provisioning over the next three-four quarters, ICRA retains the capital requirement estimates of about Rs 7,000-9,000 crore till FY20.

The rating agency further indicated that the overall collection efficiency in the microfinance sector continued to improve, increasing to 94% in September 2017 from a low of 87% in December 2016. It pointed out that an encouraging trend is that the improvement was widespread across almost all affected districts except the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and some districts of Madhya Pradesh. It also noted that several MFI players reported over 98% collection efficiencies for the loans disbursed after January 2017, consequently, fresh slippage of loans has been arrested.
