India Ratings and Research (In-Ra) has upgraded the outlook on the banking sector from “negative” to “stable” for FY22. The change in outlook is driven by a reduction in the system-wide Covid-19 linked stress to below the expected levels on back of liquidity support and emergency credit support, especially to micro, small and medium units (MSMEs).
Banks have also strengthened their financials by raising capital and building provision buffers, Indi-Ra said in a statement. The rating agency has upgraded its FY21 credit growth estimates to 6.9 per cent from 1.8 per cent. The credit is expected to grow at 8.9 per cent in FY22, on the improvement in the economic environment in October 2020-March 2021 (2HFY21) and the government s focus on higher spending, especially on infrastructure.
