Panelists' views: Structural changes required to capitalize on huge infra and SME financing opportunity
We attended FIBAC 2012, an annual Banking Conference organized by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) together with the Indian Banks' Association (IBA).
Key takeaways from Panel discussions and expert speak:
- Basel III - RBI maintaining stance of conservative regulator; willing to impose higher cost in the near term for long term financial stability
- Huge capital requirement of INR5t by March 2018; financing state-owned banks a challenge
- Focused approach on priority sector lending; banks need to be efficient in intermediation
- SME and Infra financing - huge opportunity; structural changes required
