 AIMR FORMAT

 
Assocation of Investment Management and Research (now CFA institute) gave  the following format some time back for providing industry analysis.
 
 

Industry Classification (HDFC Bank): Banking Industry

 
Life cycle position:
The Indian banking sector is currently in a transition phase. While public sector banks are in the process of restructuring, private sector banks are busy consolidating through mergers and acquisitions (the sector has been recently opened up for foreign investments). With the Finance Minster’s announcement of introducing a Bill on Banking Reforms, law on foreclosure and plans to set up an asset reconstruction company (ARC), the sector is likely to witness a significant structural change the coming years.
 
Business cycle:
Influenced by the global financial turmoil and repercussion of the subprime crisis, the global banking sector has been witness to some of the largest and best known names succumb to multi-billion dollar write-offs and face near bankruptcy. However, the Indian banking sector has been well shielded by the central bank and has managed to sail through most of the crisis with relative ease.  Further with the economic buoyancy the world over showing signs of cooling off, the investment cycle has also been wavering. Besides gearing up for the compliance with Basel II accord, the sector is also looking forward to consolidation and investments on the FDI front.
 
 

External Factors

 
Technology: Apart from streamlining their processes through technology initiatives such as ATMs, telephone banking, online banking and web based products, banks also resorted to cross selling of financial products such as credit cards, mutual funds and insurance policies to augment their fee based income.
 
Government: Foreign banks have confined their operations to mostly metropolitan cities, as the RBI restricted their operations. However, off late, the RBI has granted approvals for expansions as well as entry of new foreign banks in order to liberalize the system.
 
Social: Similarly, growth drivers for the retail segment are more or less similar to the corporate borrowers. However, the elasticity to a fall in interest rate is higher in the retail market as compared to corporates. Income levels and cost of financing also play a vital role. Availability of credit and increased awareness are other key growth stimulants, as demand will not be met if the distribution channel is inadequate.
 

Foreign:  Accounting for a part of banking capital, non-resident Indian (NRI) deposits showed a net inflow of US $ 1.1 billion in April-September 2008, increasing from net outflow of US$ 78 million in April-September 2007.

Demographic

 

Demand Analysis

India is a growing economy and demand for credit is high though it could be cyclical.
 
Real and Nominal Growth
Advances Growth: The advances of all scheduled commercial banks grew at a healthy 24 per cent till end of December 2008 compared to the year-ago numbers. In the same period, deposits grew by 21 per cent. The major contributor to the credit growth was corporate credit just as term deposits aided deposit growth.
 
Profit Growth: Consider the nine months of FY09 – net profit of 37 listed banks grew at 24 per cent. The robust net profit growth can be attributed to a 30 per cent growth in net interest income and a 17 per cent growth in other income. Profit of the banks would have been higher but for higher provisions and contingencies mainly on account of mark-to-market and asset quality provisions.  
 
-Bargaining Power of Customers:
 For good creditworthy borrowers bargaining power is high due to the availability of large number of banks.
 
Trends and Cyclical variation around trends
End users:
 
 

Supply Analysis:

Despite the severe liquidity pressure post the repo and CRR (cash reserve ratio) hikes, the money supply remained buoyant during FY08, expanding by 20% YoY, thus outpacing RBI's projections of 17% YoY growth. Liquidity is controlled by Reserve Bank of India(RBI).
 
Degree of Concentration &  Competition:
Concentration: Banks, especially the private sector ones, are likely to face penetration concerns. The lack of credit penetration and the geographic concentration of bank credit is evident from the fact that 5 states having the highest proportion of per capita credit enjoy 55% of the total credit disbursals in the country.
 
Competition: High- There are public sector banks, private sector and foreign banks along with non banking finance companies competing in similar business segments.
 
Ease of entry: Licensing requirement, investment in technology and branch network.

-Bargaininging Power of Suppliers: High during periods of tight liquidity. Trade unions in public sector banks can be anti reforms. Depositors may invest elsewhere if interest rates fall.
 
Industry capacity: Banking capital (net) amounted to US$ 4.8 billion in April-September 2008 as compared with US$ 5.7 billion in April-September 2007.
 
 
 

Profitability

Supply/Demand Analysis: The reserve money lying with the RBI as on November 21, 2008 as per the January 2009 bulletin, is a total amount of US$ 179.28 billion and RBI’s credit to the commercial sector stood at US$ 3.65 billion.
 
Cost Factors: Short-term liquidity crunch led to banks scurrying for high cost bulk and term deposits in FY08, even at the cost of narrow margins (NIMs). Thus, while the savings bank interest remained unchanged, the interest rate on deposits of up to one year soared to as high as 9.0% and those for one to two years are fetched upto 10.5% per annum. However, on the liabilities side, with better penetration in the semi urban and rural areas the banks garnered a higher proportion of low cost deposits thereby economising on the cost of funds.
 
Pricing: A bank derives revenues in the form of fees that it charges for the various services it provides (like processing fees for loans and forex transations). In developed economies, banks derive nearly 50% of revenues from this stream. This stream of revenues contributes a relatively lower 15% in the Indian context.

Social Entrepreneur of the Year for 2008 in India  

 
Arbind Singh, of Nidan was named Social Entrepreneur of the Year for 2008 in India  and Singh's non-government organization (NGO), Nidan’s activity was described  as building profitable businesses and people's organizations formed and  led by assetless, informal workers.
 
 

Nidan

 

In 12 years, Nidan has launched and promoted 20 independent businesses and organizations that are governed and owned through shares by 60,000 urban and rural poor members. The members are organized through 4,618 self-help groups, 75 market committees, 19 cooperatives, two societies and one company. The members include waste workers, rag-pickers, vegetable vendors, construction laborers, domestic helpers, micro-farmers, street traders and other marginalized occupation groups.

Nidan taps into the miniscule individual wealth of the poor, but uses their numerical strength  to aggregate it into economies of scale. This process of collectivizing generates social capital, representation and voice for the unorganized poor, which they then leverage to launch their own businesses and  become wealth creators.

Nidan Swachdhara Private Ltd. (NSPL) is  a Nidan enterprise. It is  an urban waste management company  formed with initial capital from 1,606 waste workers.  NSPL has won multi-crore contracts from the Patna and Jaipur Municipal Corporations.

In 2007-08, Nidan (NGO) earned Rs. 2.9 million (about US$60,000) from a program offering life, health, asset and property insurance to more than 35,250 members. It also received Rs. 45 million (US$925,000) in grants. Its own income was Rs. 8.6 million (US$175,000).

 

NSPL, the waste management company, had a profit of Rs. 4 million (US$80,000). One has to note that its initial capital base is made up of Rs. 100 (US$2) contributions from each of its 1,606 members -- a total of Rs. 160,600 (US$3,212). The Wama Mahila Swablambi Sakhari Samiti, a cooperative that runs retail outlets, earned Rs. 133,269 (US$2,700). It has 351 members who have put in Rs. 10 (20 cents) each as share capital. The Gharunda Housing Cooperative made Rs. 134,851 (US$2,700). Its shareholding: 103 members chipping in Rs. 103 (US$2) apiece.

 

American India Foundation supported Nidan for three years so far and is further extending cooperation as it is satisfied with Nidan’s achievements so far. Social entrepreneurs can look for support from AIF.

Good article ever

It is always welcome to see your knol article. Especially, this one is really nice and helpful for me. I think this article is beneficial for many other people as well. What do you think?

James S. Kim - 01 Jul 2011

Thank you for the comment.
Interaction with visitors and coauthors always motivates an author.

Now I feel there are at least 50,000 good knol article written by various authors from various countries. They have to be promoted through social media and I think around 250,000 page views per day can come for them.

Knol has 600,000 articles now. So if the rest get 350,000 page views in a day, Knol will get 600,000 page views per day. In some more time Knol will get one million page views per day and that will stabilize the platform. We need to good social media promotion of knol articles by around 100 authors now.

Dominic Wilson and Roopa Purushothaman of Goldman Sachs in their report dated 1st October 2003 titled Dreaming With BRICs: The Path to 2050 mapped out GDP growth, income per capita and currency movements in the BRICs economies until 2050.
They forecasted, growth for the BRICs is likely to slow significantly toward the end of the period, with only India seeing growth rates significantly above 3% by 2050.

They also predicted that India’s economy could be larger than Japan’s by 2032, and China’s larger than the US by 2041 and it will be second to US economy by as early as 2016.
The predicted that India has the potential to show the fastest growth over the next 30 and 50 years. Growth could be higher than 5% over the next 30 years and could remain close to 5% even up to 2050 if development process proceeds successfully.

A PWC report predicts that India could move into third place in individual country GDP ranking in the purchasing power parity (PPP) catogory by getting ahead of Japan in 2012, in contrast to the Goldman projection that it will happen in  2032. The report is prepared by John Hawksworth, head of macroeconomics at PWC. The report also says that India is likely to grow faster than China after 2020. The report predicts that, by 2020, the G7 (US, Japan, Germany, UK, France, Italy and Canada) will be overtaken by new 7(China, India, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia, and Turkey).

The report made the cautionary remark that India needs to continue its growth-friendly economic policies.
