A robust and thriving banking sector acts as a catalyst for growth and is a key platform for financial intermediation in the economy. The Indian banking sector has grown over the years and played a critical role in supporting productive investments as well as meeting the social banking goals set by the government from time to time. In the last few years, the banking sector has seen a major transformation given the 4R approach [recognition, recapitalization, resolution, and reform] of the government to comprehensively address the challenges being faced by the banks.
A robust and thriving banking sector acts as a catalyst for growth and is a key platform for financial intermediation in the economy. The Indian banking sector has grown over the years and played a critical role in supporting productive investments as well as meeting the social banking goals set by the government from time to time. In the last few years, the banking sector has seen a major transformation given the 4R approach [recognition, recapitalization, resolution, and reform] of the government to comprehensively address the challenges being faced by the banks.
The Indian banking sector is now at the cusp of a major growth cycle and members are focusing on brining in the necessary changes to transform themselves into ‘banks of the future’. In this context, there are multiple areas that require attention and FICCI through its National Committee on Banking is working on these areas that include digital banking, AI applications in the banking sector, data protection and privacy regulations and impact on banking sector, ESG for the banking sector, review of the PSL guidelines, stressed assets resolution mechanism.
Working through partnerships both with NBFCs and Fintechs is also high on the agenda of the Indian banking sector, and this is another area of focus of the FICCI National Committee on Banking.
Banks will have to play a very constructive role as India aspires to be the leading economy in future. A strengthened banking sector has the potential to contribute directly and indirectly to GDP, increase job creation and enhance median income. Technology interventions to strengthen the quality and quantity of credit flow to the priority sector will be important aspect. The need for sustainable finance / green financing is also gaining importance. The banking of future will require different skill sets and the adequately skilled human resource in the banking sector will have to be managed.
