Despite the boom in the stock market, the government has completely failed in the field of disinvestment

Image
New delhi date. 31 December 2020, Thursday The government is concerned that the target of raising Rs 2.10 lakh crore through disinvestment in the current financial year is unlikely to be achieved. Out of Rs 2.10 lakh crore, Rs 20,000 crore was planned to be raised through the sale of some stake in LIC and IDBI Bank, which is doubtful to be achieved in the current year. Despite the boom in the country's stock markets during the Corona era, the government does not appear to be able to meet its disinvestment target, which is surprising, an analyst said. In the year 2020, the BSE Sensex has closed with a growth of 12%. The government has failed to take advantage of high valuations. The government also intends to reduce its stake in Air India, BPCL in the current financial year. Which does not seem possible at present. Due to political hurdles and lack of response to sales at the beginning of the financial year, the central government has not been able to aggressively pursue the di...

Corona's re-emergence in the West slowed down China's manufacturing sector activity

Image
Beijing, Ta. 31 December 2020, Thursday Growth in China's manufacturing sector slowed in December but China leads the manufacturing sector compared to other major countries. China's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the manufacturing sector, which stood at 7.10 in November, fell to 31.30 in December. A score above 50 is called an extension of that area. China's manufacturing sector has recovered sharply as a result of strong export orders following the Corona virus shock.

The purpose of providing funds to small NBFCs through special funds was not achieved

Image
Mumbai, Ta. 31 December 2020, Thursday The money raised through the Reserve Bank's Targeted Long-Term Repo Fund for small and medium-sized non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) has been found to provide a fairly secure voice to borrowers. Due to this attitude of the banks, it is seen that this window has not benefited as it should have. More than 80 per cent of the money received through this window has been invested by banks in NBFCs with AAA ratings. NBFCs with a top rating usually do not need financial assistance from a bank or the Reserve Bank as they can easily get funds from the market. One of the analysts said that the scheme did not meet the objective of providing more NBFCs with higher ratings to banks in excess of the money raised from the Reserve Bank's special funds. Through this fund, the Reserve Bank provided Rs 1.19 trillion to banks. Out of this fund, banks have disbursed 40.50 per cent of the disbursed funds to NBFCs with AAA rating. NBFCs with BBB and ...

Adverse effects of Corona and Moratorium on banks will be seen in the near future

Image
New delhi date. 31 December 2020, Thursday Due to the Corona outbreak and lockdown, the loan moratorium will have an adverse effect on banks in the near future, according to the annual report released by the Reserve Bank on the faulty banking system.

The loan moratorium introduced during the lockdown benefited 30 per cent of the bank's total borrowers. This activity will adversely affect the banks in the near future. At present, the real situation of NPAs is not seen in the accounts of banks. Even the impact of the Corona epidemic is yet to be seen on these figures. Some banks have said that Corona could increase the gross NPA of banks from 0.10 per cent to 0.5 per cent. Thus, given these est...
