Domestic rating agency Crisil in its latest report has said that securitisation transactions dived 80 percent to just over Rs 20,000 crore in April-September period of the ongoing fiscal year (H1FY21), largely because of the coronavirus disease (covid-19) pandemic and the loan moratoriums. It said half of the transactions (over Rs 10,000 crore) happened in September alone, which points to a rebound in transactions as the economic activity increased.
The agency noted that securitisation refers to an activity where a financier transfers future receivables on a loan or a bunch of loans to others which helps with immediate liquidity requirements. Besides, it said overall volume continues to be well below the levels seen in the past few years, when securitisation had become one of the preferred fund-raising tools for non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) after the IL&FS crisis, pointing out that the first half of the last three fiscal years saw volumes of Rs 96,000 crore, Rs 68,000 crore and Rs 37,000 crore.
According to the report, disbursements by non-banks had declined sharply in the first half as business activity hard-braked. It said that also reduced the need for non-banks to access the securitisation market to churn assets. It said investors also preferred to wait on the sidelines, assessing the impact of moratorium on collection efficiency and credit behaviour, and awaiting clarity on improvement in borrower cash flows and economic activity.
