Q.3 Over the last decade, banks have increasingly shifted away from providing credit to industry, favouring instead lending to consumers. What are the factors responsible for this shift? What are its implications for the economy? (10 Marks)

Mentor’s comment-
  • https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/what-the-rbis-financial-stability-report-reveals-about-the-banking-sector-8071499/
  • In the intro, mention the   RBI’s latest Financial Stability Report (FSR) giving the banking system a reasonably clean bill of health.
  • In the body mention the reasons for the shift such as lessons learned from the global financial crisis and lending boom of 2004-2009. That created issue from both the supply side as well as the demand side as industries prefering to use the excess capacity. In the implications mention the impact on economic growth due to lack of credit.
  • Conclude by mentioning the need for deep structural reforms — to the infrastructure framework, the resolution process, and indeed, in the risk management processes at the banks themselves.
