Recapitalising the Financial Institutions

idea posted by Vijay Kumar Actuary Manager, LIC

To my knowledge, the Financial institutions need a further restructuring to ensure their ability to lend and support economic recovery. Deeper financial reform and the resolution of weak banks will be needed if an exit from liquidity and funding provision during the crisis is required. Therefore i suggest if there is recapitalisation in the financial institutions, it would promote a further stability in the financial system.

Stability in financial system is possible only if there is consistency in demand for investments. The consistency of demand is maintained when there is consistency in demand for goods and services by the consumers. This is not always possible by free market forces since there is always scope for going haywire guided by simple profit motives. The world has witness the sub-prime lending in USA and UK that were primarily guided by profit motives and that put the whole economy in shamble. There is need for government regulation at some fine point to stop or regulate these sheer profit motives. The Indian real estate market too took one way movement through which the market prices went up sky rocketing. Today the prices are so steeply high that investors or the consumers are shy of seeking funds for new homes. Banks are offering the best rates possible but still the demands for homes are not rising because consumers are worried about the future. The same thing happened in US and UK markets and ultimately borrowers had to face foreclosures. Government must find ways and means to stabilize the prices in every segment and keep interest rates at reasonable level on which the demands should look natural and live for longer. The secret of stability in the economy and the financial system will take a lasting shape from this stage.

An improved tool for managing crisis

idea posted by Esha Johar Risk Analyst, Irevna

We need to be sure that the government has the tools it needs to manage crises, if and when they arise, so that we are not left with untenable choices between bailouts and financial collapse. Atleast, we should be ready with a new regime to resolve non-bank financial institutions whose failure could serious systemic effects.

Protection for consumers and investors from financial abuse

idea posted by Ekta Dutta Hedge Fund Analyst/Trader, ING Vysya Bank

In my opinion, when there is a financial crisis happening outside India, the investors withdraws from the markets in fear, which affects the stability in the financial system. To rebuild trust in our markets, there should be a strong and consistent regulation and supervision of consumer financial services and investment markets. As such, there can be a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency to promote transparency, simplicity, fairness, accountability, and access for the investors.

Govt. needs to speed up the process

idea posted by Deepak Agrawal Consultant, Independent Consultant

The main reason for slow recovery is becasue projects that gets delay in 2008 still din't get full clearnace from the govt. Govt. needs to speed up the process to clear the projects so that credit off take wil increase and makes recovery fast.

Another reason that makes credit off take very slow or mererly 10% as compare to normal 25-30% is because in the past majority of project cost were finance through debt and capital consists of only 20% of total project cost however after 2008, in last one year lot of companies have raised fund thorough IPO's and at present circumstances 50% of project cost consist of capital.

Regulations of RBI

idea posted by RAMANATHA PRABHU N Chartered Accountant

Financial system in India is regulated by Reserve Bank of India, for this we have Reserve Bank of India Act 1934 and Banking Regulation Act 1949, both these Acts for the regulation of banking activities. It will have close observation of bankig activity, economic indicators and supervise balanced groth by varying the various controle measures. This central bank is functioning only for bringing stability, it is not meant for profit.

Banking system is the foundation for the whole economy and the financial market. When interest rate is more capital will be attracted, which is vital for development, if we exploit the capital in line with productivity or if at better productivity level, the economy improves.

Domestic investors must increase than foreign investors in india.

idea posted by Manish N Chugh Officer Trainee, Stock Holding Corporation of India ltd.,

I feel one's stability is more balanced when its not dependent more on others. If the foreign holdings are more than the domestic than the chances of instability rises gradually. Then the domestic movements become pupets in the hands of foreign holdings. So i feel we should try to minimize foreign stakes in local companies and make more ways such that the local investors feel more comfort investing locally. Also i dont deny that foreign investors play a vital role in domestic growth, however this view is only to the extent of maintaining the domestic financial stability. .... Thank you, Manish N.

Cheers!!

Finance is not impossible to get

idea posted by SR Sham Sunder CEO/MD/Director Technoaid

I will start from a black marketeer; criminal; hawala operator; borrower; salaried person and end with an entrepreneur.

This may look ridiculous - starting a solution from a black marketeer and continuing with a criminal/hawalaia operator....

A black marketeer wants to save tax- so reduce taxes and make it convenient

A criminal wants to earn quick money and he invariably has a need for money.  It may be comforts or a genuine need.  The social cost of converting a criminal into a human being is much costlier than providing some facility to him.  If we go deeper into the problem, we will be able to convince him to come out of crime.

A hawala operator is one who benefits from a need to transfer funds.  After all transfer of funds is a simple financial activity.  as long as cost of transfer of funds is higher and difficult, hawala operators survive.  The financial system should be realistic.

A borrower has a genuine need.  Credit should be available.  It should be made available.   However, the activity should sustain cost of funds.  With this criteria, credit should be made available.

A salaried person does not have differential income.  Our tax structure should encompass a fixed income person and a differential income person.

The basic need for an entrepreneur is to implement his project idea.  He should b able to do so.  Our financial system should allow that.  

I may have missed some persons.  However, if we address the above, our financial system will be stable and in the growth path.

Leave the issue to the Market itself

idea posted by ASOKE KUSARI Domestic Private Banking-Executive/Manager, A large leading PSU Bank - India

Why not leave the issue to the market itself ? " Ah market hai ... Bhai ... market .. !! "  Every market has its ups and downs. When 'we' made superficial profits in Sub-prime or Hybrid Mortgages, did we ask for guidences from the Authority or the Regulators ?

 When  ever there is a problem .. we expect Govt to come forward to rescue .. !! Do you mean "stability " or "upward trend" ? The saying goes, what may go up may go down also. Essence : if 'we' want stability that should be supported by market (players) itself. BUT players hunt for only one thing : Profit. May Dalal Street go up when other streets are at distress ? When the society at large is suffering, may the market be stable ?

Let, Wealth grow

idea posted by Mathew Cherian Research Associate/Analyst, Western Michigan University

Wealth of a Nation must grow for Financial stability to take place. Credit oftake is important for wealth to materialise, for this the interest rates has to be low for borrowers to make wealth possible on borrowed funds.

During high interest costs wealth distruction occurs, that is when the budget is in high deficit, the interest costs of borrowing rise, the value of currency degenerate and wealth distruction occurs. It will be difficult for businesses to make profits at this juncture.

During high deficits, inflation too pick up and distroys the wealth of a Nation. So; inflation need be checked for financial stability to happen. Alao, the Living standards of the citizen must rise and be maintained.
