“While there is no vaccine mandate across the company, we strongly recommend employees be vaccinated and to notify us of their status.”

More than 80% of Merrill employees have voluntarily reported their vaccination status and have or are returning to the office, the spokesperson added.

Earlier this year, major Wall Street firms were aggressively planning for most employees to return to office. But the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus forced some of them to postpone the returns.

What is co-lending, and how will work?, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


-By Ishwari Chavan

Under RBI’s model, banks can co-lend with all registered NBFCs, including housing finance companies.


The co-lending model has been around in the BFSI sector for some time now, but after the Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines in November 2020, co-lending has become a response to ease the liquidity crisis in non-bank lenders. The method aims to enhance credit flow to productive sectors, and banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have been increasingly exploring co-lending opportunities.

What is RBI‘s Co-Lending Model, and how will it work?

RBI’s CLM is one wherein two lender firms, in this case a bank and an NBFC, come together to disburse loans. Under RBI’s model, banks can co-lend with all registered NBFCs, including housing finance companies.

As per the guidelines, NBFCs and HFCs facilitate the origination and collection of housing loans while banks leverage their balance sheet strength to house the majority of the loan. This means that 80% of the loan will reflect in the bank’s balance sheet, while 20% in that of NBFCs or HFCs.

In simple terms, banks will lend to NBFCs, and NBFCs will pass it on to the priority sectors, since they have a greater reach.

NBFCs will be the single point of interface for the customers and enter into a loan agreement with the borrowers. The agreement should contain the features of the arrangement and the roles and responsibilities of NBFCs and banks.

The ultimate borrower would be charged an all-inclusive interest rate.

Considering the lower cost of funds from banks and greater reach of NBFCs, the primary focus is to improve credit flow to the unserved and underserved sectors of the economy, also known as priority sectors, and make funds available to the ultimate beneficiary at an affordable cost.

The agreement should contain the features of the arrangement and the roles and responsibilities of NBFCs and banks.
The agreement should contain the features of the arrangement and the roles and responsibilities of NBFCs and banks.

RBI has prescribed that a portion of bank lending should be used for developmental activities, for the priority sector, which includes agriculture, MSMEs, housing, and so on.

According to norms, both public and private sector banks have to lend 40% of their net bank credit (NBC) to the priority sector and foreign banks have to lend 32% of their NBC.

How is co-lending beneficial for lenders and borrowers?

The partnership allows banks to lend more funds to sectors and regions they do not have reach in. With the greater reach of NBFCs, the model allows banks to meet their total priority sector lending (PSL), while NBFCs get bigger and top rated borrowers on its books.

It also allows NBFCs to source clients, perform credit appraisals and disburse a small part of the loan amount, and enables banks to expand their lending business.

The end borrower gets accessibility to loans at very affordable and competitive rates, and is in turn included in the country’s financial ecosystem.

Recent co-lending agreements

> Last week, U GRO Capital signed a co-lending agreement with IDBI Bank to provide formal credit to underserved MSMEs.

> Last month, Bank of India entered into a co-lending arrangement with MAS Financial Services for MSME loans, IIFL Home Finance signed an agreement with Punjab National Bank, and SBI signed an agreement with Paisalo Digital.

> In July, YES Bank and Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd entered into a strategic co-lending agreement to offer home loans.

Globally, equities tanked lower as risk sentiment soured amid growing worries over increase in government bond yield, rising inflation and soaring energy prices to multi-year highs. The 10-year benchmark Treasury yield rose to 1.57%, highest in three-months, which might prompt US Fed to tighten monetary policy earlier than expected. Global cues had already weakened after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand hiked its benchmark interest rate for the first time in seven years. The sentiments are also weak given uncertainty looming over US debt ceiling.
