Findings: The exposure of public sector banks to OBS
items, has risen 2.3% to Rs19,09,422 Cr. from Rs18,66,824 Cr. in 2009.
Public sector banks have emphasized on guarantee as a major off-balance sheet activity followed by private sector banks and then foreign banks.
Foreign banks’ exposure to derivatives, letters of credit and guarantees declined 31.2% to Rs. 70,20,667 Cr. at the end of March 2009 from Rs.1,02,10,744 Cr. last year.
Cont.
Foreign banks are extensively involved in off-balance sheet activities as compared to private and public sector banks.
They are highly involved in forward contracts, acceptances and endorsements.
It is evident that all the three banking sectors have experienced a decline in off-balance sheet activities in 2009 which may be due to market conditions.
Conclusion:
According to RBI, leveraged positions in derivatives as a means of diversifying income and increasing use of derivatives as tools for risk mitigation appear to have contributed to the growth in contingent liability exposures.
The level of contingent liability exposure of banks have seen significant rise in the last few years as companies rushed to hedge their foreign exchange contracts to tide over the volatility in currency markets except last year, which may be due to prevailing market environment.
Cont.
“Foreign and private banks in 2008-09 on account of the liquidity crunch and rising non-performing loans were reluctant to take exposure on corporates,” said a senior general manager in charge of corporate credit in a Mumbai-based public sector bank. “Corporates were forced to come to public sector banks and hence the rise in guarantees given on behalf of corporates and forward contracts.’’
Cont.
The economic slowdown had affected corporate activity in 2008-09,’’ Expansion, investments and borrowing plans of corporates had slowed down hence the number of forward contracts entered by corporate India saw a dip which also led to a drop in exposure.” Banks have stayed away from the derivative business after some companies took legal action against banks’ mis-selling of exotic derivative products on account of which companies had to incur huge losses.”
Off-balance sheet activities: Road ahead The future of banking undoubtedly rest on risk
management dynamics. Banks success lies in its ability to assume and
aggregate risk within tolerable and manageable limits.
Banks should adopt a coordinated approach to risk management.
