Statement: Former RBI chief Raghuram Rajan has dissected the banking crisis in his recent analysis of non-performing assets (NPAs). He implies that cronyism is an important cause. Rajan says one reason for NPAs was over-optimism after the initial success of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure during 2006-08, leading to explosive expansion without due diligence. Second, slower GDP growth after 2008 meant that traffic and industrial demand were far less than projected. This was exacerbated by delays in land acquisition, and non-availability of gas and coal for power plants.  Courses of action: I. Rajan says he sent a list of prominent bank fraud cases to the PMO, but heard nothing more about it. This has led to accusations that cronyism has been the root cause of record NPAs. That is simply wrong.  II. Besides, bond buyers - mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies - will be decimated if bond defaults are as common as bank NPAs, and the human and economic impact may be just as bad.  III. Banks should not be forced to get into project finance at all, let alone on a grand scale. They grew for decades through working capital and retail lending. They had no ability to judge project costs or risks. But they jumped in, often on political orders or pressures.

Statement: Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Monday that the government is ready to ensure credit is available to non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), just a day after the market regulator and the central bank sought to calm skittish investors. Jaitley's assurances followed panic selling in the equity market on Friday that pushed the benchmark Nifty Index more than three percent lower in less than 30 minutes. It later recovered to end the day down 0.81 percent.  Courses of action: I.
