ECONOMIC SCEANERIO

The Indian economy has weathered many challenges successfully in recent times. Markets are optimistic, as a result of various policy measures announced or taken by the Government. The key policy changes include liberalization of foreign direct investment and a large array of investment facilitation measures.

Commodity prices have remained low, inflation has moderated and low crude prices have supported the Governments current account deficit commitment. A relatively stable rupee and rising foreign exchange reserves are key indicators of an improved and stable macro-economic environment.

The priorities of the Government were to provide additional resources for the vulnerable sections of society, to rural areas and for creating social and physical infrastructure. The Government encouraged private and public spending. The banking system in India saw a major shift with the RBI ending forbearance and through the Asset Quality Review process ensuring that banks were taking proactive steps to clean up their Balance Sheets.

A normal monsoon and further rate cuts by RBI are expected to facilitate rural and urban consumption. The year ahead will be challenging on many fronts, credit quality and shifts in operating model, to name a couple. Accepted norms and rules of doing business are likely to be rewritten with digital innovation, increased use of technology in financial services and payment and small banks coming on stream. The NBFC sector appears to be best placed to take advantage and succeed in this changing environment.
