This article examines the increasing corporate debt vulnerability and its impact on the asset quality of the Indian public sector banks (PSBs) in the post-global financial crisis (post-GFC) of 2008. The study shows that the stress in both corporate and bank balance sheets has increased in the post-GFC. As a result, there has been a steep increase the proportion of firms with negative profitability. The article finds that the declining profitability has severely affected the debt serviceability of the firms. Consequently, the debt at risk has risen significantly, which in turn has contributed to increase in non-performing assets (NPAs) of the banking sector, particularly, the PSBs. Using the panel regression technique, the study finds that the corporate debt vulnerability is an important determinant of the growth of NPAs along with other factors such as debt concentration, corporate sales growth, lending to sensitive sectors, bank profitability, bank size and the efficiency of banks.

need to see that the level of NPAs is kept down. In spite of many fold developments, adverse development of accumulation of NPAs to place over the period, several tools / methods of managing NPAs were tried such as Lok Adalats, Debt Recovery Tribunals, SARFAESI Act, Corporate Debt Restructuring and many more. Cleaning up of the Bank Balance Sheets is essential and urgent to boost growth in coming years, independent loan review mechanism and sale of unproductive assets are some of the ways to arrest the rising NPAs. Since the quality of advances in India particularly the corporate stressed advances are quite poor and huge in comparison to other Asian Pacific emerging countries, if the NPAs are not managed properly there is every chance that the capital and reserves of Banks shall not to able to meet the losses arising on account of write off of Bad Loans.

Public sector banks have been merged by the government in the last few years. This is the rationale behind conducting this study. The purpose of this article is to determine the factors affecting the performance of public sector banks in India and the interrelationship between bank-specific determinants and performance of public sector banks. In this article, we shall analyse the financial data of all the public sector commercial banks for a period spread across 11 years (2009–2019); Capital adequacy, Assets quality, Management efficiency, Earning, and Liquidity (CAMEL) has been used as a performance determinant; system generalised method of moments (GMM) analysis has been used to find the effect of determinants on the performance measurement of public sector banks; and CCA (canonical correlation analysis) has been used to find the interrelationship between the bank-specific determinants and the performance of public sector banks. The finding has important implications in terms of performance in the banking sector. Certain limitations of this study are: It is based on secondary data. The study only covers the financial aspects and not the non-financial aspects. It is found that the asset quality is negatively related with performance of public sector banks. Liquidity and inflation are inversely related to performance of public sector banks in India. Capital adequacy is positively related with banks’ performance, but inversely related with banks’ interest margin. GDP growth has a significant positive impact on banks’ performance, but inversely related with banks’ interest income. Inflation rate is inversely related with banks’ performance. Banking sector reforms are insignificantly related with banks’ performance.

Indian banking sector is facing the problem of rising bad loans as gross non-performing assets (GNPA) of Indian banks is on continuous rise. The present study is an attempt to analyse rising bad loans scenario of Indian banks, various factors that contributes to non-performing assets (NPA), along with the present state of Indian banks. This study found that poor recovery measures, lack of proper credit and risk management system at bank level, wilful default by borrowers, lack of stringent regulation, poor level of corporate governance and misuse of funds by borrowers are the key factors behind the rising level of bad loans of Indian banks. It was found that public sector banks (PSB) are suffering the most from rising level of NPA, high rate of NPA of banks have adverse impact on banks’ balance sheets, their assets quality, increased provisioning coverage ratio of banks and low return on assets. Although various concerned stakeholders have taken numerous measures to curb the situation, such as recapitalization of PSB, construction of assets reconstruction companies (ARC), Debt Recovery Tribunals for speedy recovery of bad loans and enactment of insolvency and bankruptcy code (IBC),still there is much more to do, and have a huge scope to bring reforms in banking sector, especially in PSB of India.

This paper examines the case for efficiency-driven banking sector consolidation in Italy, evaluates its potential effects on profitability, and discusses policy options to facilitate a consolidation process that is as effective as possible. A bottom-up analysis of 386 Italian banks suggests that while profitability is expected to improve as the economy gradually recovers, operational efficiency gains are nonetheless needed to restore large parts of the banking system to healthy profitability. Banking system consolidation can play a role in facilitating such efficiency gains, but its effectiveness is likely to be most as part of a comprehensive strategy that includes complementary reforms to clean up bank balance sheets. Cross-country experience indicates that efficiency gains are more likely to follow consolidations where careful viability analyses are conducted of the synergies and operational improvements that can be achieved.

In emerging Asia, banks constitute the dominant source of financing consumption and investment, and bank balance sheets comprise large gross FX assets and liabilities. This paper extends the DSGE model of Gertler and Karadi (2011) to incorporate these key features and estimates a panel vector autoregression on ten Asian economies to understand the role of the banking sector in transmitting spillovers from the global financial cycle to small open economies. It also evaluates the effectiveness of foreign exchange intervention (FXI) and other macroeconomic policies in responding to external financing shocks. External financial shocks affect net external liabilities of banks and the exchange rate, leading to changes in credit supply by banks and investment. For example, a capital outflow shock leads to a deprecation that reduces the net worth and intermediation capacity of banks exposed to foreign currency liabilities. In such cases, the exchange rate acts as shock amplifier and sterilized FXI, often deployed by Asian economies, can help cushion the economy. By contrast, with real shocks, the exchange rate serves as a shock absorber, and any FXI that weakens that function can be costly. We also explore the effectiveness of the monetary policy interest rate, macroprudential policies (MPMs) and capital flow management measures (CFMs).

In this article, we use data envelopment analysis to obtain Pareto–Koopmans (PK) measures of technical efficiency (TE) of India’s domestic commercial banks for the period between the global financial crisis and merger of the State Bank of India and its associates. This article aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on the efficiency of Indian banks by adopting the concept of PK efficiency to overcome the restrictive nature of radial and orientation-specific TE measures. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first of its kind where one can disaggregate overall TE into two separate components by measuring input and output efficiency in the Indian banking sector. We assume a three-input three-output technology for both groups and utilize a balanced panel of 26 public sector banks (PSBs) and 19 private banks (PVBs) from 2010–2011 to 2016–2017. The mean PK efficiencies across the study period are 0.86 and 0.72 for PSBs and PVBs, respectively. Hence, there is considerable scope of improvement in the productive performance of PVBs. The disaggregation of PK efficiencies into input- and output-specific components reveals that for PSBs, the inefficiencies primarily result from physical assets, while for PVBs, they emerge mainly from other incomes. Hence, the management should specifically target these aspects of banking operations to improve their performance. Second-stage regression analysis reveals that PK-TE has a non-linear relationship with the size of a bank. Deposit to liability ratio and management quality negatively impact PK efficiency, while priority sector lending positively influences it.

In the post-reform era, quality delivery of the services has acquired centre point of the service industry around the globe. The banking sector being purely a service-related industry has been influenced more by the issue of providing quality service. With the entry of private banks, the banking sector has gone through many transformations including the way services are extended. In a backward state like Assam, this has arrived a little late, but the changes are gradually visible. The chapter captures the service quality standard of the Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) and also for the different bank groups in order to make a comparison. The SERVPERF scale is used to study the replies of the customers in two cities, Guwahati and Tezpur, and some econometric tools are used to analyse the data. The study reveals that the private sector banks are far ahead of the public sector banks in terms of quality of service. The private banks influence the service quality of the SCBs the most among all the bank groups. Overall, the public sector banks, which are the dominant market players, will have to work hard to catch the level of the private banks.

This study attempts primarily to measure the financial performance of banking industry of Bangladesh for the periods 2013–2014 and to rate them according to the composite rating system. For this purpose, 10 private commercial banks (PCBs) have been selected from 38 PCBs. CAMEL has critically analyzed the financial performance of these banks. This finds that most of the banks get 2.14 with an average rating of composite range, where only Eastern Bank Ltd. gets “Strong” rating, seven PCBs get “Satisfactory” rating, AB Bank Ltd. and City Bank Ltd. lay middle of the range of composite score. From this ground, it is clearly reflected that most of the PCBs in Bangladesh have performed quite satisfactorily in recent years. The performance of most banks is dependent more on the managerial ability in formulating strategic plans and the efficient implementation of its strategies. Maintenance of asset quality is the major challenge in this year and is feared to remain so in 2014. The banking sector in Bangladesh has passed somewhat an average year regarding governance, profitability and soundness in 2013. Finally, it is recommended that the banks should be more careful to ensure the quality of assets and its uses, and increased their efficiency in managerial grids.


NPA is a burning issue in the Indian Banking Sector. So the main purpose of the paper is to identify the trends in the NPA and to examine bankers’ perception on reasons for NPA and to suggest measures for minimizing NPA. The study is based on both primary data and secondary data. Secondary data is collected for a period of 16 years from 2002 to 2017. Percentages, growth rates, mean, standard deviation, Z-test and chi- square tests are the major tools of analysis. The study has found that over the years there is tremendous growth in the NPA of banks. The major reason for this was wilful default from the part of borrowers and siphoning of funds for other purposes. The significant contribution of the study will be pragmatic suggestions on improving asset quality of banks in India. It will throw new insights on effective credit management by banks.
