BANKS ARE
STRESSED: WHAT
DO WE DO?
There cannot be a turnaround in Indias
banking sector till such time the govt accepts
that capital infusion is just one tool and it
needs to do more for banks revival
A day after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
released its biannual Financial Stability Report,
outlining the significant challenges being faced
by Indian banks, 31 of 33 big banks in the US
cleared the final round of the Federal Reserves
annual stress tests, signifying the resilience of the
US financial system .
Only one of the largest banks of the USMorgan
Stanleygot a conditional passing grade and two
others, Deutsche Bank AG and Santander Bank NA,
both US subsidiaries of European banks, failed. In
the previous year too, the duo did not qualify.
The stress tests essentially gauge whether the
banks in the US with at least $50 billion in assets
each have enough capital, management bandwidth
and other safeguards to survive a financial crisis.
Since 2010 when the first signs of stress were seen, the
government has pumped in Rs.67,734 crore capital to keep
the public sector banks running. It has agreed to infuse an
additional Rs.70,000 crore even as the state-owned banks
will have to raise over Rs.1 trillion from the markets to meet
their capital requirements. Media reports suggest that the
finance ministry has already finalized the plan for the first
round of capital infusion of around Rs.10,000 crore. After
pumping in Rs.25,000 crore in 21 state-owned banks last
fiscal year, the government has committed to offer
Rs.25,000 crore capital to these banks in the current year
and another Rs.10,000 crore each in 2018 and 2019.
For the big US banks and their investors, the annual stress
tests are extremely critical as those who pass the grade are
entitled to pay dividends and buy back stocks from their
shareholders. In the Indian context, such a test still largely
remains an academic exercise as the government seems to
believe in a perpetual unconditional bailout theory.

The
SurveyMonkey
defines
industry benchmarks to help
companies judge where brands
stand. Samsung scored a 35 for
customer loyalty, while Apple
managed a 28. Both scores were
above the industry benchmark of
19.
Where Apple did better, was in
customer
service
satisfaction.
There, it scored a 41 percent
positive rating, while Samsung
managed only 25. Both companies
may still have much to do. The
industry benchmark for customer
service satisfaction is 75 percent.
