Asset Recon India 2022 - Collaborate and Growth in Uncertain Times

Conference Overview

Stressed Assets in a pre and post pandemic world

Over the past couple of years, quantum jumps in non-performing assets have impacted corporate India in a debilitating manner. And this gets into a vicious loop. The distressed market has awfully affected all possible participants – lenders, bankers, business houses, policy makers, and everyone else connected with the business, finance and legal eco-systems.

The resulting tailspin or free fall does not augur well for an economy that is still reeling under the onslaught of the pandemic.

And the “Domino Effect” continues...

Current Scenario & Key Statistics

Gross non-performing asset (GNPA) ratio of SCBs may increase from 7.48 per cent in March 2021 to 9.80 per cent by March 2022 under the baseline scenario; and to 11.22 per cent under a severe stress scenario, although SCBs have sufficient capital, both at the aggregate and individual level, even under stress.

Stressed assets of Indian banks will remain elevated at 11-12% in fiscal 2022, up from 8.7% in the previous year. The pandemic has further weakened asset quality to a large extent.
