ABOUT THE SEMINAR
The Seminar includes invited talks, discussions, paper presentations etc.
Main Topic: “Impact of Global Meltdown on Indian Banking Sector: Opportunities & Challenges”
India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Evidence from across the world suggests that a sound and evolved banking system is required for sustained economic development. And if such a banking system collapses that leads to the collapse of the economy with a multiplier effect. Examples from U.S. and European countries prove it.
India has a better banking system in place vis a vis other developing countries, but there are several issues that need to be ironed out in the light of the recent developments in the Global economy.
The impact of the global crisis has been transmitted to the Indian economy through three distinct channels, viz., the financial sector, exports and exchange rates.
The financial sector including the banking sector, equity markets, external commercial borrowings and remittances has not remained unscathed though fortunately, the Indian banking sector was not overly exposed to the sub-prime crisisIt is argued that India would be relatively immune to this crisis, because of the “strong fundamentals” of the economy and the supposedly well-regulated banking system with large role of the nationalized banks. While India is not likely to face a financial meltdown of the kind that was nearly experienced in the US, the global financial crisis will certainly have an impact also in banking sector.
A decade after the Narasimham report was published and in the light of new challenges from the norms laid down by the WTO and Basel II, it is imperative to have a close look at the performance of banks in the last decade or so to assess the success of the reform process and how far it helped to weather the rippled effect of global credit crunch.
Indian banks should be able to get to the top 10 list of global banks by 2020 or 2030. With the current growth rate of the economy in India, it would bring in huge opportunities for India and the Indian banks.
The seminar aims to have a SWOT analysis of the Indian banking sector to analyze the fundamentals that helped to weather the global credit crunch.
