Top rupee-bond banker says time for Indian firms to issue, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Indian companies should use the current yields which are at multi-year lows to raise long-term funding, according to the nation’s biggest rupee bond arranger since 2007.

“The market levels are absolutely fantastic, absolute yields are quite low at multi-year lows, spreads are quite tight,” Neeraj Gambhir, group executive and head – treasury, markets and wholesale banking products at Axis Bank Ltd., said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “Our suggestion to borrowers is that current market scenario is very good and if they need long-term funding they should be accessing the markets.”

Companies borrowed an unprecedented 9.8 trillion rupees ($134.4 billion) through domestic bonds in the fiscal year ended March as they build up cash buffers to tide over the pandemic. The average yield on top-rated two-year rupee corporate notes fell 15 basis points on Tuesday to 4.63 per cent, the biggest decline since May 17. Notes touched a record low of 3.84 per cent in April.

India’s central bank will probably need to buy 3-4 trillion rupees of sovereign bonds this fiscal year to support the government’s borrowing program, Gambhir said. He expects the benchmark 10-year yield to remain near the 6 per cent mark in the ‘foreseeable future.’

The rupee is likely to remain around current levels and unlikely to depreciate immediately, Gambhir said.

“The strength of the rupee is reflective of the dollar weakness particularly against EM currencies and I don’t expect it to reverse in a meaningful way anytime in the near term,” he said.

The rupee was trading down 0.2 per cent to 73 a dollar on Wednesday.

Should you invest?

Should you invest?

According to data from Value Research, large-cap equity funds, for example, have generated an average SIP return of 13.63 per cent over the last ten years which is undoubtedly much higher than that of PPF and even bank FDs. The current interest rate on PPF, on the other side, is 7.1 per cent. The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is one of the finest ways to save for old age. It has generally given higher interest rates than bank fixed deposits. Furthermore, the PPF interest rate is unstable, as the central government adjusts it every quarter. In this case, a diversified equity fund can be a good bet for your portfolio. Because the underlying companies are not strongly influenced by market swings, conservative investors may consider investing in the large-cap funds discussed above. As a result, they are less risky than small and midcap funds. Market risk is also included in large cap funds so before making a selection, investors must examine prior returns, investment purpose, expense ratio, exit load and AUM of the fund.

Is DeMo crackdown coming? Banks asked to preserve CCTV footage, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked banks to continue preserving the CCTV recordings of operations at their branches and currency chests for the period from November 8, 2016, to December 30, 2016, in view of the pending investigations and legal proceedings in matters related to illegal accumulation of new currency notes.

On December 13, 2016, the central bank had first asked the banks to preserve the recordings to facilitate coordinated and effective action by the enforcement agencies.

In a notification on Tuesday, the RBI said: “In continuation to the above, keeping in view the investigations pending with law enforcement agencies, proceedings pending at various courts, you are advised to preserve the CCTV recordings of operations at bank branches and currency chests for the period from November 08, 2016, to December 30, 2016, in a proper way, till further orders.”

On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made the surprise announcement of demonetising the then circulating Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes, thereby rendering them invalid from midnight.

Citizens were given around 50 days to exchange the notes for the new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes.

The Prime Minister and the government had then said that the move was primarily aimed at wiping out black money. After the government announced withdrawal of 500- and 1,000-rupee currency notes on Nov 8, 2016, there have been instances of counterfeit currencies or large amounts being deposited in banks.

Suspicious transactions

The 2016 demonetisation of two high-value currencies has led to an all-time high generation of over 14 lakh suspicious transaction reports (STRs), a record 1,400 per cent jump over the past, by banks and other financial institutions in the country, a FIU report had earlier found.

The elite financial snooping unit of the country has compiled comprehensive data of such instances, including fake currency deposits, for the year 2017-18.

This is the highest-ever figure of STRs since the FIU first started the regime over a decade ago.
The FIU is the central agency under the Union finance ministry that analyses suspicious financial transactions pertaining to money laundering, terror financing and serious instances of tax frauds and crimes.

What’s an STR?

STRs are generated when a transaction either indicates that it has been made in circumstances of unusual or unjustified complexity or appears to have no economic rationale or bona fide purpose and also those transactions that give rise to a reasonable ground of suspicion that it may involve financing of the activities relating to terrorism.

“During the year (2017-18), reporting entities (banks and other financial institutions) continued to examine transactions during demonetisation and as a consequence over 14 lakh STRs were received by FIU-IND.

“This increase is almost 3 times than the STRs received in the last year (2016-17) and 14 times than the STRs received prior to demonetisation,” the agency’s director Pankaj Kumar Mishra had said in the report.

India Inc cut Rs 1.7 lakh crore debt during pandemic, leave banks high and dry, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Ignoring the government exhortations to unleash animal spirits and step up investments in the country, India Inc preferred to play safe during the pandemic.

The corporate world focused on deleveraging high-cost loans through fund raising via bond issuances despite interest rates at an all-time low. This has led to muted credit growth for banks.

According to data analysis SBI research wing, the top 15 sectors with more than 1,000 listed entities reported over Rs 1.7 lakh crore of debt reduction in 200-21.

Refineries, steel, fertilizers, mining & mineral products, and textile alone reduced debt by more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore during FY21.

Fertilizers, mining and minerals, FMCG, cement products, consumer durables, and capital goods were among the sectors where loan reduction of 20 per cent or more was reported during FY21.

According to data from the Reserve Bank of India, loan growth fell to a 59-year low of 5.6% on year as of March 31. Credit was logging a 6.4% in the previous fiscal.

Low interest rates

As interest rates drop to an all-time low, corporates are reducing their loan liabilities to facilitate a lower finance cost, which resulted in the primary issuance of bonds to increase by nine per cent.

The spread of AAA bonds for a 10-year tenor declined from 124 bps in April 2020 to 70 bps in April 2021.

Similarly, the spread for 5 year and 3-year bonds declined from 89 bps and 147 bps in April 2020 to 9 bps and 30 bps in April 2021 respectively.

“This trend is continuing in FY22 also,” said Soumya Kanti Ghosh, Group Chief Economic Adviser, State Bank of India.

These companies not only reduced their loan liabilities at lower finance cost, but also increased their cash and bank balance by around 35% in March, as compared to March 2020, suggesting a conservative approach to conserve cash during uncertain times.

Corporate willingness for new investments also remains tepid as the economy is still recovering from the second wave.
