OVERALL REVIEW

The word economic slowdown grabbed not only the headlines but business cycles of lenders as well. Some hard OVERALL REVIEW: lessons have been to focus on being prudent and building robust models. 2019 has kept everyone on their toes. Still, the biggest learning has been that regardless of liquidity crisis or economic slowdown, investors will focus on solid business models and proven teams that can drive profitability. NBFCs are learning to calibrate the overall market dynamics and approaching new strategies to lend to different segments. On the domestic front, the near-term economic prospects appear severely impacted by lockdown induced disruptions to both supply and demand side factors, diminished consumer confidence and risk aversion. While financial sector regulators and the Government have taken policy measures to ensure financial intermediation functions normally, and distress faced by disadvantaged sections of society is mitigated, the down side risks to short term economic prospects are high. Policy measures have so far kept financial markets from freezing up, and eased liquidity stress facing financial institutions and households. Consequently, borrowing costs have ebbed and illiquidity premia have shrunk. Nonetheless, risk aversion and lackluster demand have impeded the fuller flow of finance from both banks and non-banks into the economy.

OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS, CONCERNS, PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

The Government has taken a series of measures to generate demand and ease the liquidity by ensuring public OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS, CONCERNS, PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK: sector banks lend further to NBFCs, introducing partial credit guarantee scheme, organizing loan mela etc. However, the experts believe that from an industry point of view, the slowdown that has begun, cant be turned around that easily for which a booster shot is required. Structurally, the government can make it easier for MSMEs to survive the environment by providing more subsidies to some sectors and build more platforms for small-scale industries to expand. Government should consider relaxing and easing some compliances, for e.g. reforms on taxes or entry requirements for DFIs etc. Every fundamental indicates towards a higher growth and better future next year, reflecting strong optimism going into 2022. The overall economic outlook is currently challenging, nobody can expect demand to pick up. These could include a change in personal tax rules in order to put more money in the hands of the common man for a consumption-led revival of the economy, measures to prop up the health and lending abilities of NBFCS, policies to fast track digital adoption in tier 3, tier 4 towns. To compete in the fast-changing global technological landscape, the Indian lending sector will need continued support from the government and regulators to further evolve and scale up. Further a robust Aadhar and digital payments infrastructure is needed to have a truly digital consumer lending experience across consumer segments and loan products.

In the past Aadhar has been a great help for financial institutions for faster on-boarding and managing KYC. The SC ruling had impacted many players who build their business models on Aadhar. P2P lenders had a good year end to rejoice as RBI had hiked the investment limit from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 50 lakh subject to declaration of net worth by a Chartered Accountant. The recent boost from RBI which raised P2P lending cap from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 50 lakh is a game changer, an income tax rebate/deduction for P2P investment can further help the P2P lending industry. Also operational efficiencies can be significantly improved if the government facilitates Aadhaar based services for KYC & agreements signing.

According to the Reserve Bank of Indias (RBI) Financial Stability Report-2020, recent developments in the Non-banking financial companies (NBFC) sector have brought the sector under greater market discipline as the better performing companies continued to raise funds while those with Assets Liability Mismatch and/or asset quality concerns were subjected to higher borrowing costs. In terms of network analysis, the total outstanding bilateral exposures among constituents of the financial system narrowed during 2019-20.

In terms of inter-sectorial exposures, asset management companies/mutual funds (AMCMFs), followed by insurance companies, and were the biggest fund providers in the system, while non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) were the biggest receiver of funds, followed by housing finance companies (HFCs). AMC-MFs recorded a sharp decline in their receivables from the financial system, while public sector banks (PSBs) and insurance companies experienced an increase. Payables of NBFCs and HFCs increased marginally.

Access of NBFCs/HFCs to capital markets, both debt and equity, is of significant importance to the sector.

Simultaneously, there is a visible consolidation in a few industries namely, airlines, telecom and real estate developers leading to disruption and breakdown of many weaker players. This has unfortunately led to rising unemployment, higher NPAs for Banks and NBFCs, and large write offs in the income statements of creditors as seen in the Jet Airways scenario. The emergence of strong leaders in industries which are consolidating brings forth investment opportunities. In financial markets it is commonly referred to as "Value Migration".

NBFCs can bring the much needed diversity to the financial sector thereby diversify the risks, increase liquidity in the markets thereby financial stability and efficiency can be promoted to the financial sector. In the backdrop of a growing economy, NBFCs will continue to grow in the financial ecosystem and create meaningful financial inclusion and further the government agenda of "Self- reliant India", "Make in India" and ‘Start-Up India.
