Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman (R) announced a 'bank' to resolve non-performing assets (NPA) of the Indian banking sectorIANS
India’s leading banks saw their shares price jump by as much as 15% after the Budget 2021-22 announcements on February 1.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the creation of a ‘bad bank’ and an increase of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to 74% in the insurance sector.
However, experts believe the rally may be short-lived due to the lack of clarity around how the sale of bad assets will work and cost of funding likely to increase.
