MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

Global economy continued its fragile recovery driven by growth up-turns in advanced economies. The US economy posted stronger growth signals in the second half of the Calendar Year (CY) 2016 with expected fiscal stimulus and other policy reforms in the new government regime. Prevailing threats of protectionism and its adverse impact on trade and employment continued to pose downside risks to global growth. Economic activities in emerging markets were on recovery path on account of additional fiscal stimulus in China. Crude oil prices recovered from its initial low value since the OPEC (Organization of the petroleum exporting countries) decision to control excess supply. Monetary policy stance of major central banks remained growth oriented and addressed price stability concerns. On the backdrop of evolving economic and political factors and expected cyclical recovery

in manufacturing activities, global growth is expected at 3.5 per cent in CY 2017 and 3.6 per

cent in CY 2018 over 3.1 per cent in CY 2016.

 

 

DOMESTIC ECONOMY:

 

Indian economy emerged as the growth driver of the emerging economies by virtue of its strong macro fundamentals. In the second half of Financial Year (FY) 2016-17, Indian economy stands par on its growth targets and inflation remains contained at its target level. Pro-active policy reform announcements by the Government

led to revival in external sector and strengthened business environment. Agricultural activities marked sustainable growth during the year driven by adequate rainfall and uninterrupted credit supply. Overall industrial and services sector remained muted dragged by low investment scenario. Although Demand conditions of the economy faced short-term volatility during demonetization, it recovered gradually after economy adjusted for new cash inflows. After accounting for all the volatilities, overall growth outlook remains positive with expected growth of 7.1 per cent in FY 2016-17.

 

Union Budget FY 2017-18 remained balanced for all the segments of the society with greater emphasis on Technology, Energy efficiency and Cleanliness (TEC) with policy transparency and infrastructure spending being the prime agenda. Sector specific focus of the budget reveals equitable distribution of resources and puts a step ahead on sustainable growth of the economy. Union Budget also focused on maintaining fiscal prudence and to keep the fiscal deficit at 3.2 percent for FY 2017-18.

 

EXTERNAL SECTOR

 

 

Trade performance of the economy gained pace since November 2016. Improvement in export import performance revived the external sector outlook for the economy. Current account deficit remained higher at 1.4 per cent of GDP in Q3 (Oct-Dec) FY 2016-17 compared to 0.6 per cent of GDP in the previous quarter. Foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows for the FY 2016-17 remained robust at INR 48110.000 Million compared to outflow of INR 181760.000 in FY 2015-16. Driven by healthy FPI inflows and growing investor confidence, Rupee surged to 64.8 per US$ on March 31, 2017, from 66.3 per US$ on March 31, 2016 noting appreciation of 2.3 per cent. Gradually appreciating rupee also strengthened external sector confidence of the economy.

 

PRICE SCENARIO

 

Price scenario of Indian economy underwent remarkable changes during FY 2016-17. Retail inflation as measured by Consumer Price Index (CPI), reached to its multi-year low of 3.6 percent in November 2016 due to large decline in food prices. Demonetization led cash shortages weighted on consumption demand and resulted into falling of food prices, mainly vegetables. Crude oil prices were moderate in the first half of the FY 2016-17; however, OPEC agreement in August, 2016, reversed the initial low price scenario and resulted in gradual increase. Core inflation (excluding food & fuel) remained upward sticky at average 4.9 per cent in FY 2016-17.

 

Wholesale Price Index (WPI) remained on upward trajectory during FY 2016-17. After remaining in negative zone for seventeen consecutive months, WPI started to reverse its path from April 2016. Gradual upward movement of WPI since June 2016 was observed due to increasing prices of manufacturing products mainly intermediate inputs. After September 2016, Wholesale price index smoothly converged with consumer price index and then after gathered momentum to surpass the commodity price inflation.

 

STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE

 

5.1. Equity markets performed well during FY 2016-17 led by various financial and political developments. S&P Sensex gained by 16.9 per cent in FY 2016- 17, Nifty also improved by 18.6 per cent. Bankex climbed 32.8 per cent. Business confidence improved in the second half of FY 2016-17 on the backdrop of remarkable policy initiatives. However, slow pace of growth in manufacturing and services sector activities after demonetization hampered the market sentiments. Increase in the US treasury yields also brought volatility in the bond markets of major emerging economies. Despite strong external uncertainties viz. Brexit, protectionist policies by the US etc., Indian financial market remained mainly supported by domestic policy corrections and reform agenda brought out by the government at various points of time.

 

 

BOND MARKET SCENARIO

 

On April 01, 2016 10 year g-sec yield was 7.4 per cent, whereas on March 31, 2017, it was down to 6.7 per cent driven by various financial and structural variations in the economy. It also traversed a higher variable path since the onset of demonetization. Excess liquidity with banking system necessarily called for higher investments in SLR securities and increased the bond prices in the markets. SLR investments by banks increased to 17.9 per cent in March 2017, compared to 5.9 per cent in March 2016.

 

As per budgetary announcement, government remains committed to adhere to its fiscal discipline targets. Net market borrowing target for FY 2017-18 was lower at INR 3.5 trillion in FY 2017-18 over INR 4.3 trillion in FY 2016-17.

 

 

LIQUIDITY CONDITIONS

 

Liquidity conditions have remained comfortable with the monetary authority’s regular conduct of repo and reverse repo auctions as and when needed. Since the onset of demonetization, economy faced transient challenges for liquidity adjustments; however, seemless efforts of the regulator to balance the liquidity positions have helped in regaining pace of cash flows in the system. As on March 31, 2017, net liquidity absorption stood at INR 3.2 lakh crore. Owing to excess flow of funds, many banks cut their MCLR rates to pass-on the liquidity surplus to its customers.

 

In its last policy action, RBI decided to narrow the policy corridor to 25 bps from 50 bps with effect from April 07, 2017. Although Repo rate remained unchanged, reverse repo rate increased to 6.0 per cent. This policy action remains in line with RBI’s liquidity management system. RBI’s recent change in policy stance to neutral from accommodative drives its focus on price stability

 

 

BANKING ENVIRONMENT:

 

In the midst of varying global and domestic environment, Indian banking industry faced shortterm credit constraints in FY 2016-17. Despite global headwinds, Credit portfolio of the banking industry managed to grow by 5.1 per cent in FY 2016-17 whereas, aggregate deposits reached double digit figure of 11.8 per cent during FY 2016-17 owing to demonetization. Reduction in MCLR rate, gradual decrease in SLR rates, narrowed monetary policy corridor and change in monetary policy stance to neutral from accommodative, have been recognized as the vital reforms impacting the banking industry during the current and next financial year.

 

Incremental credit growth during the year was mainly led by retail & agriculture sector, though overall Credit portfolio of the banking industry remained concentrated towards industry especially infrastructure sector. With prolonged shortage of funds and weak debt servicing ratio, infrastructure loans continued to affect the balance sheets of the banks. Profitability of the banks faced downside risks due to higher adjustments for provisioning requirements. Stringent regulatory initiatives by central bank including clean-up of balance sheet under Asset Quality Review(AQR), revision in restructuring and provisioning norms, mitigation of concentration of risk by capping large borrower exposure limits at lower lever and increasing other compliance regularities, were aimed at mitigating the system level asset quality risk and revamp the asset portfolio of the banking industry.

 

Banking industry showed mixed signals of growth with gaining confidence in digital front and expanding business matrix in the reviving economic environment. Challenges in the form of capital constraints, slow repaying capacity of large industrial houses and cyber security threats are yet to be addressed appropriately to revive  the growth of this sector.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

The role of banking sector in India’s emergence as an economic giant cannot be underestimated. The banking sector journey has been challenging and transformational. The number of banked population has almost tripled since the liberalization of Indian economy. Public sector banks (PSBs) continue to dominate the banking landscape, with more than 70 percent of outstanding credit. In the past few years, due to a variety of legacy issues and slowdown in global and domestic macroeconomic many large projects have been stalled and it has been resulted in lower profitability for PSBs as whole. While their profitability is not expected to be that weak in FY 2018, an exponential hike in profit figures is less likely over the next 1-2 years.

 

 

Against this backdrop and with the ongoing developments in the environment, the Bank has adopted a balanced approach to growth, profitability and risk management. This strategy has helped the Bank to further strengthen its

position with continued improvements in the key financial parameters, a strong deposit portfolio, a large and expanding distribution network and a healthy capital position; thereby creating a platform for robust growth in subsequent years.

 

During the next fiscal, the credit growth of the banking sector is expected to be moderate, with robust retail loan demand being offset by muted demand from the corporate sector. While retail asset quality may remain stable, the challenges facing the corporate sector is also likely to recede to some extent. Thus for the next fiscal the Bank will take proactive efforts for sustaining the robust funding profile by capitalizing on opportunities while calibrating growth to developments in the environment; extend the digital deepening and further strengthen the customer base by expanding access to finance to small and medium enterprises, unorganized sector and the remote underserved areas that have been brought into streamline by demonetization and the ‘Digital India’ initiative. Also the Bank will continue to focus on cost efficiency and capital efficiency for maximizing the returns, thus increasing shareholder value in a responsible and conscientious manner.

 

In summary, FY 2016-17 was a year in which the Bank focused on further strengthening businesses, network, technological capabilities and operating and financial parameters. At the same time Bank was cognizant of the risks in the environment and calibrated its approach accordingly. The outlook for the future is positive – with the various policy responses during the year that alleviated the immediate pressure in the banking system and their focus on growth to help realize India’s vast potential. Bank’s strong and diversified workforce, large distribution network, healthy capital position and sustained improvements in balance sheet & profitability have made it capable of leveraging future opportunities for profitable growth. Further, the Bank is committed to maintain the highest standards of corporate governance, with a view to ensure that the Bank is well-placed to address risks as well as capitalize on growth opportunities, within a framework of regulatory compliance and adherence to the highest ethical standards.

UNION BANK, BANK OF INDIA SEEK TO BE PARTY TO NIRAV MODI-OWNED FIRESTAR DIAMOND'S US CASE

 

Mar 17, 2018

 

MUMBAI: Union Bank and Bank of India have jointly approached a US court, seeking its approval to participate in the proceedings under the Chapter 11Bankruptcy filing of Nirav Modi-owned Firestar Diamond.

Through US law firm Hill Rivkins, the state-run banks have sought appearance opportunities and copies of the notices served and papers filed in the case. ET has seen a copy of the application. The banks didn’t respond to emails seeking comment.

Under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, companies are given protection from creditors as they try to reorganise their business with a court monitoring the process.

As part of the process, if an entity, like the Indian banks in this case, believes it has an “interest” or a claim in the case, it could file for appearance and request for service of notices and papers through an attorney.

 

This way, it is asking to be copied on all correspondences related to the process and for participation in the proceedings.

Nirav Modi, who is being probed by several Indian agencies for illegal transfer of about INR 136000.000 Million from Punjab National Bank NSE -0.78 %, has a majority stake in Firestar Diamond and its sister companies.

 

Union Bank had revealed that it had a exposure of $300 million (around INR 19150.000 Million) to the PNB fraud case, but that this was fully secured by letters of undertaking and other documents and it was confident to receive the payment.

 

Bank of India had not revealed any exposure.

“The proactive appearance of Union Bank of India NSE -0.49 % in the Firestar Diamond and A Jaffe Chapter 11 cases seems appropriate in light of the reported $18.4 million direct exposure to Nirav Modi as well as the $300 million related to the PNB bank guarantees,” said Seth Freeman, a certified insolvency and restructuring advisor and managing director of EM Capital Management in San Francisco.


Firestar Diamond filed its Chapter 11 petition in the New York Southern Bankruptcy Court claiming that liquidity and supplychain challenges were to be blamed for its financial situation. The company listed about $100 million in assets and debt. The court has convened a meeting of its creditors in New York on March 30.

 

MADE 100% PROVISION IN TOTEM FRAUD: UNION BANK

Mar 23, 2018

 

NEW DELHI: Union Bank of India NSE -0.40 %, whose share prices plunged 8 per cent, today said it made 100 per cent provision against Totem Infrastructure Limited fraud case, so there is no material impact on the lender.

"The said company had availed credit facilities from consortium of 8 banks having aggregate exposure of INR 13944.300 Million and within which total exposure of our bank is INR 3138.400 Million as on January 31, 2018 (including unapplied interest of INR 1636.400 Million)," the bank said in a statement.

The account was classified as non-performing asset in the year 2012 and thereafter recovery action with consent of other consortium members was initiated in this account, it said.

100 per cent provision has been made in the account, it said, adding that there is no material impact of this article on the bank.

Meanwhile, shares of the Union Bank of India tanked over 8 per cent to hit a one-year low during the day amid concerns over losses incurred in a INR 13940.000 Million loan fraud case.

The stock dived 8.29 per cent to close at INR 86.85 on BSE. Intra-day, it slumped 9.13 per cent to INR 86.05 - its 52-week low.

At NSE, shares of the company tumbled 8.28 per cent to end at INR 86.85.

The company's market valuation declined INR 6707.800 Million to INR 74322.200 Million.

The CBI has booked a Hyderabad-based construction and infrastructure company for allegedly defrauding a consortium of eight banks to the tune of over INR 13940.000 Million, officials said yesterday.

Totem Infrastructure, which worked as a sub-contractor for several major infrastructure companies, and its promoters Tottempudi Salalith and Tottempudi Kavita were named in a CBI FIR, registered on the basis of a complaint from Union Bank of India, one of the eight banks, they said.
