This SBI / RBI Main Exam quiz series will mold your preparations in the right direction and the regular practice of these quizzes will be really very helpful in scoring good marks in the Examination. Here we are providing you important question of English Language for SBI / RBI Main Exam.
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
The bad loan problem in the banking sector is likely to linger for a long while. Among other things, it will affect the sector’s ability to finance productive sectors of the economy. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), on its part, is trying different things to help the banking sector, but conditions at the aggregate level are not improving as desired. As a recent Credit Suisse report noted, on top of 12% impaired assets, another 4.5% of loans are estimated to be stressed—and expecting a turnaround in the asset quality cycle would be premature.
It is now being reported that the banking regulator under new governor Urjit Patel wants to give more flexibility to banks to deal with the issue of bad loans. It appears that the current bad loan problem is becoming a difficult learning experience for RBI and it is not very sure as to what exactly needs to be done. When one option doesn’t work, it comes up with another one or tweaks the existing one in order to make things easier for the banking system. But the problem is so deep at the aggregate level that RBI’s measures are not making much of a difference.
For instance, in 2014, RBI came up with a scheme that allowed banks to extend the maturity of loans given to companies in the infrastructure sector. In 2015, it gave banks the option of converting a part of the debt into equity and taking a controlling stake in stressed companies.The regulator introduced another option called the Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets, or S4A. This allows lenders to determine the sustainable level of debt for a stressed company and split the outstanding debt into sustainable debt and equity with some caveats. The idea again is that as the company turns around, equity will provide an upside to the lenders. But these options are not easy to implement on the ground and there is no guarantee that banks will be able to recover the money.
A report showed that lenders had been left with some difficult choices after they failed to find a buyer for debt-laden Essar Steel. The options they have are to either take an equity stake in the company or auction bad loans worth Rs44,000 crore to asset reconstruction companies (ARCs).Both are difficult choices. Selling loans to the ARCs will attract a significant amount of haircut and an equity stake comes with its own uncertainties. This is just an illustration of how difficult things have become for the banking sector that is sitting on toxic loans worth Rs6.3 trillion.
