industry

170701.gif (4302 bytes)

The financial system helps determine both the cost and volume of credit. Following are thevarious functions performed by a financial system:

  1. The Savings Function
  2. Liquidity Function
  3. Payment Function
  4. Risk Function
  5. Policy Function

Financial Markets:

A financial market can be defined as amarket in which financial assets are created or transferred. These markets ate classifiedas Money Market (where the instruments dealt are of short-term maturity) and CapitalMarket (the instruments dealt are of long-term maturity).

  1. Money Market:

2.       These markets deal with instruments that have a maturity period of less than 1 year. These are further sub-divided into following:

    1. Call Money Market:

2.       It is in this market that banks and other participants borrow loans for a very short period, i.e., for 1 to 15 days.

    1. Treasury Bills or Government Securities Market:

4.       This is a market for trading in instruments issued by the Central Government, State Government, Securities guaranteed by the Central or State Government and Treasury Bills issued by the RBI.

    1. Market for Commercial Paper (CP) and Certificates of Deposit (CD):

6.       Commercial Paper are short term, unsecured promissory notes issued at a discount to the face value by well known companies that are financially strong and carry a high rating.

Certificates of Deposits are defined as short-term deposits by way of usance promissory notes having a short maturity of not less than 3 months and not more than one year.

    1. Money Market Mutual Funds (MMMF):

MMMFs are mutual funds that invest primarily in the money market. This helps even a small investor to invest in the money markets.

  1. Capital Market:

4.       This market deals with instruments that have a maturity period greater than one year.

It is further divided in to:

    1. Primary Market:

2.       This is the market where new securities are issued by Companies and are purchased by the investors.

    1. Secondary Market:

This market deals with trading of outstanding securities. This market operates via the medium of Stock Exchanges.

Banks can be broadly analysed on the followingparameters:

  1.  

2.       Size of a Bank:

3.       Usually the thumb rule is- all other things remaining constant- bigger the size of a bank, the better it is. This is judged by following:

1.       Deposits:

2.       This includes the Demand, Time as well as savings deposits from all the sources-within and outside India.

3.       Net Profits:

This is the final free profit available for appropriation. This can either be ploughed back or distributed as dividend.

4.       Operational Efficiency:

5.       This refers to how efficiently a bank manages its business. An efficient bank will manage the same asset size at a lower cost than an inefficient one.

1.       Interest Income/Average Working Funds:

2.       This refers to how much interest income, or operating income a bank can earn for every rupee spent on the working funds. The higher the ratio the better. Average Working Funds are the total resources (total assets or liabilities) employed by a bank

3.       Non Interest Income/Average Working Funds:

4.       This refers to how much other income or fee-based income or income from non fund-based activities a bank can earn for each rupee spent on the working funds. The higher the ratio the better. This also denotes a bank’s capability to work on low spreads.

5.       Operating Expenses/Operating Income:

6.       This ratio denotes how much a bank has to spend on operating expenses for every rupee earned. The lesser the ratio, the better.

7.       Cost of Deposits:

This is the ratio of Total Interest Expended /Total Deposits. This indicates the cost of funds to a bank. Thus a bank that can obtain funds at a lower cost is in a position to earn better profits in the future.

6.       Earnings Quality:

7.       This parameter lays importance on how a bank earns its profits. This also explains the sustainability and growth in earnings in the future.

1.       Income Spread/Average Working Funds.

2.       Income Spread is the difference between Interest Income earned and Interest Expended. This ratio shows how much a bank can earn for every rupee of working fund spent. The higher the ratio the better.

3.       Operating Profit/ Average Working Funds:

4.       This ratio indicates how much a bank can earn from its operations net of the operating expenses for every rupee spent on working funds. The higher the ratio, the better.

5.       Net Profit/Assets:

6.       This ratio measures the net free profits earned for every rupee of asset owned. A higher ratio means better income generating capacity of the assets. A higher ratio indicates better earning potential in the future.

7.       Net Profit/Net Worth:

8.       This ratio measures the return on net worth or the return on equity. This is a very important ratio for the shareholders. A higher ratio means that the shareholder’s funds are utilised in a better manner than would have been elsewhere. Also, only a high return on equity justifies retention of profits.

9.       Other income/Net interest income:

Other income includes fee-based income, income from non-core activities, income from non fund-based exposures and other activities. This ratio determines the future ability to work on low spreads. This also indicates whether the bank is solely reliant on interest income for its profits or are there other sources of income as well.

8.       Productivity:

9.       This parameter indicates how efficient are the banks employee and branches in generating business and profits.

1.       Business per Branch:

2.       Business of a bank is equal to sum of Deposits and Advances. This ratio indicates whether the branches of bank are used optimally or not.

3.       Business per Employee:

4.       This ratio is used to find out whether a bank is relatively over or under staffed. The higher the ratio, the better.

5.       Operating Profits per Employee:

6.       This is also a ratio to check whether a bank is over or under staffed. The higher the ratio, the better.

7.       Operating Profits per Branch:

This ratio also denotes the profitability per Branch. The higher the ratio, the better.

10.   Capital Adequacy:

11.   Capital Adequacy indicates whether the bank has enough capital to absorb unexpected losses. It is required to maintain depositor confidence and preventing the bank from going bankrupt.

1.       Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR):

2.       The banks have to maintain the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) specified by RBI from time to time. Capital Adequacy Ratio is equal to the ratio of TIER-I and TIER-II Capital to the Aggregate of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA).

Thus CAR= (TIER-I + TIER-II)/RWA

Higher CAR indicates ability to comply with future tighter CAR norms. Also high CAR denotes high safety against bankruptcy. However a CAR over 2-3% above the statutory norms indicate that the funds are not deployed properly by the banks. The current requirement is 9% which is to be raised to 10% by March 2002.

3.       TIER-I Capital:

4.       This refers to the core capital that provides the most permanent and ready support against unexpected losses. Equity investments in subsidiaries, intangible assets, losses in current period and those brought forward from previous years, will be deducted from TIER-I Capital.

TIER-I Capital consists of the following components:

Paid-up Equity Capital, Statutory Reserves Other, Undisclosed Reserves.

5.       Debt-Equity ratio:

6.       This is calculated as the proportion of total outside liability to net worth. Thus this ratio is equal to (Capital + Reserves)/(Deposits + Borrowings + Other Liabilities). This ratio thus indicates the bank’s financial leverage.

7.       Advances/Assets:

8.       This ratio indicates a bank’s aggressiveness in lending which ultimately results in better profitability. Higher ratio of advances/deposits is preferred to a lower one.

9.       G-secs to investments :

10.   This ratio indicates a bank’s strategy as being high-profits high-risk or low profits-low risk. Government securities are generally considered as the most safe debt instrument, which as a result carries the lowest return.

11.   G-secs to Assets:

This ratio again shows whether a bank is conservative or aggressive in its approach towards making profit. Higher ratio indicates conservatism and a lower ratio indicates aggressiveness.

12.   Asset Quality:

13.   This indicates what types of advances the bank has made to generate interest income. When loans are given to highly rated blue chip corporate, the rates attracted are lower than that by lower rated doubtful corporates. Thus asset quality indicates the type of debtors of the bank.

1.       Non-Performing Assets:

2.       These are the assets that are doubtful to return the principal and/or interest due in the near future. This results in huge losses to a bank. Thus a bank with a low profit but at the same time low NPA is preferable to the one having higher profits and higher NPA.

3.       Contingent Liabilities/Total Assets:

4.       This is the ratio of non-funded exposure of a bank to the total assets. Such exposures result in high losses in cases of default. Thus the lower the ratio, the better.

5.       Advances growth:

6.       This indicates the increase in the lending activity Year on Year (yoy). If this ratio is greater than the average ratio for the industry, it indicates that the bank is aggressively trying to increase its profits by increasing its advances. This may also result in higher losses due to loans turning bad (NPA)

7.       Advances yield:

8.       This indicates the interest income earned by the bank from its lending activity. Generally, Yield increases with the increase in the risk perception of the assets. Thus a high Yield indicates that the bank has invested in more risky assets, which may be harmful for the future profitability of the banks.

9.       Investments/Assets:

This ratio indicates the proportion of investments to the total assets of a bank. A higher ratio means that the bank has conservatively kept a high cushion of investments to guard against NPA. However this affects its profitability adversely.

14.   Management Quality:

15.   This parameter is used to evaluate management quality so as to assign premium to better quality banks and discount poorly managed ones.

1.       Credit/Deposit Ratio:

2.       This indicates the total advance as proportion of total deposits. It indicates the management’s aggressiveness to improve income by higher lending operation.

3.       Return on Average Net Worth:

4.       This indicates the return on shareholders funds. It should be reasonably be above the cost of capital to warrant ploughing back of the profits. This ratio is very important from share valuation point of view. Average net-worth is the simple average of opening and closing balances of net-worth.

5.       Asset growth:

This is the balance sheet growth indicating an aggressive attitude towards growth.

16.   Liquidity:

17.   Banks are in a business where liquidity is of prime importance. Among assets Cash and Investments are the most liquid of a bank’s assets.

1.       Liquid Assets/Total Assets:

2.       Liquid assets consist of cash balance and investments. This proportion indicates the overall liquidity position of a bank

3.       Cash Assets/Total Assets:

4.       Cash has the highest liquidity and safety among all assets. This ratio measures cash as a proportion of total assets.

5.       Investments/Total Assets:

6.       Investments are the second most liquid assets. This ratio measures investments as a proportion of total assets.

7.       G-Secs/Total Assets:

G-secs are the most liquid and safe investments. This ratio measures G-Secs as a proportion of total assets.
