MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

MACROECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The domestic economic growth after moderating to 6.8% in 2008-09 recovered to 8.0% in 2009-10 helped by fiscal stimulus and accommodative monetary policy. With an improvement in the global economic landscape in 2010, domestic economic growth is expected to consolidate further to 8.6% despite a partial withdrawal of fiscal stimulus and removal of monetary policy accommodation in 2010-11.

 

In terms of sectoral trends, growth turned broad-based in the year 2010-11. Agriculture GDP growth, which took a setback due to failure of South-West Monsoon in 2009, is expected to recover to 5.4% in 2010-11 on the back of normal monsoon in 2010. Industrial production remained buoyant in the first half with growth in the Index of Industrial Production averaging 11.9% in Q1 and 9.1% in Q2 of 2010-11. The momentum in industrial production has seen a moderation in Q3 with average growth coming at 5.9%. Despite the recent moderation in IIP growth on account of an unfavorable base and tight monetary policy by the RBI in 2010, overall Industry GDP is expected to grow at 8.1% in 2010-11 compared to 8.0% in the previous financial year. The Service Sector GDP remained buoyant in Q1 and Q2of 2010-11 with growth coming at 9.4% and 9.6% respectively. The momentum in Services GDP moderated to 8.7% in Q3 due to the partial withdrawal of fiscal stimulus. However, other sectors like Trade, Hotels, Transport, Communication, Financing, Insurance, etc. have remained extremely supportive of overall growth momentum within the services sector. For the year 2010-11 as a whole, Services GDP is expected to attain a growth of 9.6%, moderately down from 10.1% in the previous financial year.

 

The Central Government had projected a fiscal deficit to GDP ratio of 5.5% for 2010-11 at the start of the year. This was lower than the deficit of 6.4% in 2009-10 and in line with the government’s intent to gradually remove fiscal stimulus with the economy showing signs of sustaining the robust growth momentum. With recovery in domestic growth, inflationary concerns gained traction with WPI inflation starting the year in double digits. Average WPI inflation, which came at 3.6% in 2009-10, rose to 9.4% in 2010-11. Food and fuel were the key drivers of inflation during this period. A rise in structural part of the food inflation (especially protein based foods) along with firm global commodity prices led to a pickup in prices for some of the essential commodities. Deregulation of petrol prices along with a price hike in administered fuel items further enhanced the pass through. With food and fuel prices remaining elevated, core inflation has started showing signs of a pickup. As a result, the RBI in an effort to curb inflationary expectations continued with the policy rate hikes that were initiated in Q4 2009-10. The RBI hiked repo and reverse repo rates by a cumulative of 175 basis points and 225 basis points to 6.75% and 5.75% respectively between April-March 2010-11. The RBI also continued tightening money market liquidity conditions by hiking CRR by 25 basis points to 6.0% during the Annual Policy in April 2010. Additionally, the central bank in its Second Mid- Quarter Review in November 2010 took measures to prevent excessive leverage in the housing sector by providing a ceiling for Loan to Value ratio at 80%, and increasing risk weights and provisioning requirements by 2% for housing loans offered at ‘teaser rates’. Besides the above mentioned changes, banks introduced the Base Rate system in July 2010 that would replace lending based on the BPLR system.

 

With the RBI intentionally keeping money market liquidity tight, the average daily systemic liquidity moderated to Rs.245860.000 Millions in Q1 of 2010-11 from an average surplus of Rs.985740.000 Millions in Q4 2009-10. The quarterly surplus turned into a deficit in Q2 2010-11 during which daily borrowings from RBI averaged at Rs.302330.000 Millions. The deficit liquidity situation got aggravated in Q3, during which daily borrowings from RBI averaged at Rs.953500.000 Millions. While a deficit liquidity situation was desirable for effective transmission of monetary policy signals, the extent of deficit turned out to be much higher because of structural factors like greater than average increase in currency in circulation and government’s surplus cash balances with the RBI. Moreover, temporary frictional factors related to government disinvestments through IPOs and quarterly advance tax outflows exacerbated the problem. In order to maintain financial stability and bring down the liquidity deficit close to the sustainable level of -1% of Net Demand and Time Liabilities, the RBI took the following key measures in Q3: (1) started conducting second LAF (Liquidity Adjustment Facility) on a daily basis, (2) cut SLR by 1% to 24% and allowed an additional 1% temporary dip in SLR maintenance, (3) announced Rs.600000.000 Millions of bond repurchase through its Open Market Operation. As a result, the liquidity deficit has moderated with daily borrowing from RBI averaging at Rs.830850.000 Millions in Q4 2010-11. Pickup in government expenditure towards the fiscal year end moderated, the tightness in overall liquidity conditions.

 

In terms of monetary variables, aggregate deposits in the banking system increased by Rs.6524640.000 Millions in 2009-10 resulting in a growth of 17.0%. In 2010-11, deposits increased by Rs.7118770.000 Millions as of March 25, 2011 resulting in a year-on-year growth of 15.8%. Non-food credit disbursement by the banking system increased by Rs.4625710.000 Millions in 2009-10 resulting in a growth of 16.9%. In 2010-11, non-food credit disbursement increased by Rs.6780770.000 Millions as of March 25, 2011 resulting in a year-on-year growth of 21.2%.

 

From a macroeconomic stability point of view, the Third Quarter Monetary Policy Review noted the need for fiscal policy to move in tandem with the monetary tightening in order to address supply side inflationary concerns. According to the Union Budget 2011-12 unveiled in February 2011, the government is expected to move on the path of fiscal consolidation. The fiscal deficit to GDP ratio is expected to moderate to 4.6% in 2011-12 from a downwardly revised 5.1% deficit in 2010-11.

OUTLOOK

 

The economy continues to be on a strong growth trajectory and the annual Economic Survey pegs the growth to be around 9% in FY12. Robust private consumption is likely to underpin the overall growth momentum. However, investments are likely to moderate as the effect of tight monetary policy plays out. Additionally, high global commodity prices have increased the downside risk for global growth. As a result they expect overall GDP growth to stay around 7.8% in FY12, indicating a moderation when compared with the government’s estimate of 8.6% growth in FY11.

 

Average WPI inflation in FY11 has come at 9.4%. With economic growth expected to stay close to potential, rising global commodity prices are likely to provide upside risk to inflation. As a result, although they expect inflation to start moderating on account of the ongoing monetary policy tightening, the correction is likely to be extremely gradual. They expect average WPI inflation to stay around 8.0% in FY12. On the fiscal front, the government has budgeted for a reduction in fiscal deficit to 4.6% of GDP in FY12 from 5.3% in FY11. They however expect upside risks to the fiscal deficit projections as the subsidy bill is likely to overshoot the budgeted estimates due to high global commodity prices, especially oil. As a result, the overall fiscal deficit in FY12 can be expected to come around 5% of GDP.

 

The impact of high global commodity prices would also be reflected in the external accounts as high crude oil prices result in higher oil import bill. They expect the current account deficit to GDP ratio to deteriorate marginally from -2.7% in FY11 to -2.9% in FY12. However, the ongoing recovery in the global economy and the close to potential domestic economic expansion would continue to support higher software exports. Additionally, capital flows are also expected to be marginally higher. As a result, they expect the overall Balance of Payment to come at USD 17 bn in FY12 compared to an estimated level of USD 16 bn in FY11.

PRESS RELEASE

 

NON-INTEREST INCOME GROWTH BUOYS YES BANK

 

21 October 2011

 

New Delhi, Oct. 21 -- The concern about Yes Bank Limited has been that its low Casa (current and savings account) deposits and dependence on borrowings would eat into profitability. Well, the bank has so far managed the monetary tightening cycle rather well. For the September quarter, it posted a net profit of 2350.000 Millions 33.3% higher than the year-ago period. The bank has been nimble enough to meet the challenges. Loan growth in the quarter was a low 12.7%, much lower than the 26.1% year-on-year (y-o-y) rise in the June quarter.

 

Yes Bank prefers to use the growth in customer assets (loans and credit substitutes such as bonds and commercial paper) as a benchmark, and this grew 27.4% y-o-y. Note, though, that customer asset growth was 34.7% y-o-y in the June quarter.

 

Deposit growth was just 10.2% y-o-y in the September quarter, and the extra funds for lending were obtained by borrowing. Several factors were responsible for keeping the cost of borrowings low more foreign exchange borrowings, especially since August, when the cost of hedging fell; a tier-II capital bond issue with a yield lower than the yield on a comparable deposit; and taking advantage of low-cost refinance.

 

Yield on advances, on the other hand, was increased by re-pricing loans. The upshot was a slight increase in net interest margin to 2.9% from 2.8% in the June quarter.

 

Casa, as a percentage of total deposits, remained stable at 11% compared with 10.9% at end-June, but that was partly because, sequentially, deposits grew by a mere 1.1%. Sequentially, Casa growth was 1.6%, on a small base.

 

While net interest income grew 23.1% y-o-y, the big increase was in non-interest income, which went up a huge 63.4%, aided in part by a low base, but also because of very strong growth in the financial market (which includes FX sales, debt capital markets and trading income), transaction banking and financial advisory segments. Non-performing assets (NPAs) continue to be very low, with gross NPAs at a mere 0.2% of gross advances. However, restructured advances went up from 870.000 Millions at the end of June to 1755.000 Millions at the end of September. That is an increase from 0.26% of gross advances to 0.51% of gross advances, which, however, is still very low. Yes Bank's long-term goal is to raise Casa. It has added 50 branches in the September quarter and 91 branches in the last six months, taking the total to 305. The full benefits from branch expansion should kick in 18-24 months. In the interim, though, a rise in bond yields could be a risk.
