Bankers agree to take measures to review lending rate transmission: Finance ministry

06 Aug 2019 Evaluate

The finance ministry has said that banks have agreed to take measures as per RBI guidelines to review their lending rates as they have not commensurately transmitted to borrowers benefits of reduction in the policy rate by the RBI. It also highlighted that since December 2018, the monetary policy has been eased substantially with policy rates being cut by 75 basis points and the policy outlook changed to accommodative. The release was issued after a meeting between Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and heads of public sector banks (PSBs) as well as private lenders, including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Citi Bank.

In the meeting, Financial Services Secretary Rajiv Kumar has said that a range of issues connecting to credit growth, micro, small and medium and enterprises (MSMEs), automobiles, timely transmission of rate cuts, digitisation, service tax-related issues were discussed at length. He also said that the idea is to take stock of everything and spur the credit growth, especially in the automobile sector, in the agriculture sector, in the MSMEs and also look at the 'co-origination' with the NBFCs and HFCs, where the banks have the credit availability so that they can join hands together and lending reach to the last mile.

Further, Sitharaman talked about issues related to the increase in public shareholding in listed companies from 25 percent to 30 percent as well as levy of surcharge on super riches. She said market regulator SEBI has already started consultations with various stakeholders about the increase in public shareholding to 30 percent in listed entities. She noted that SEBI has started the exercise of hearing various stakeholders and is having its own consultations. She said “from the ministry side, we have not initiated anything either way.
