Moody’s report on India

In news

Moody's Investors Service  said the bank capital will moderately fall in emerging Asia over the next two years, with India seeing larger capital decline without further infusion

Report's highlights 
  • Non-performing loans (NPLs) will rise most for banks in India and Thailand because of the greater shock to their economies and historically poor performance of certain loan types.
  • In India, stress among non-bank financial institutions will also curtail their capacity to lend.
  • The 2021 outlook for banks in emerging markets is negative, while the outlook for insurers is stable.
  • In the Asia Pacific region, banks’ rising nonperforming loans and insurers’ volatile investment portfolios are in focus. 
  • The uncertain trajectory of asset quality is one of the biggest threats for emerging market banks, as operating conditions remain challenging amid the current health crisis
