Banking Sector Reform in India

The fact that banks control 97% of the world's money supply makes them a vital institution. Banks are the engine of our modern financial system and a source for economic growth. The bank's ability to create credit can have destructive effects; the Great Depression of 1929 and the Great Recession of 2008. In both cases, banks spurred on an asset bubble through overextending credit to aid the purchase of assets. The result was an economic collapse that wiped out wealth and reduced credit creation which stalled productive investments. The lessons of the two great economic collapse support the notion proposed by the author, that bank credit for transactions that do not contribute to the economy should be restricted.

Secondly, out of the twenty-five stockholders of the Bank, five of these were government owned. Thus showing support of the Bank by subscribing to one-fifth of its $35 million (Schlesinger 74). In addition, among the Bank’s functions was to hold all government money, sell all government bonds, and make commercial loans. However, no voters could dictate its policies or reign in its power, due to its privately owned status (Roughshod 2). Finally, the government also allowed bank notes to be used as payment for taxes.

Richard Fairbank and Nigel Morris, both diligent entrepreneurs, started laying the bricks for their eventual successful company, Capital One, in the late 1980’s. They both worked in the Virginia-based “Signet Bank”. Fairbank started noticing trends in the financial industry that he felt Signet was missing out on. These opportunities were in the credit card industry. He, as well as all of Signet Bank knew that the credit card industry was very risky, but Fairbank was ready to take a chance in this, what can be, highly profitable field.

Secondly, the centralization of the credit function will lead to several immediate benefits. Implementing the Charlotte model in other markets will put a proven credit manager to guide decisions of local credit managers of the different KOBs. A local SMCM will also allow for greater information sharing between functions and branches in a given market, providing superior services as a centralized contact for large clients who buy from multiple KOBs. Furthermore, some redundancies could be eliminated. For example, if a branch has a few credit managers with overlapping coverage, the low-performing managers could be dismissed. The credit function appears to overlap across various business groups and there are clear synergies that could come from empowering few strong managers in a given geography with responsibilities for more than one business lines.

So what you had was again government getting in the way of sound business practices. Forcing banks and other

In the world of banking and finance nothing stands still. The biggest change of all is in the, scope of the business of banking. Banking in its traditional from is concerned with the acceptance of deposits from the customers, the lending of surplus of deposited money to suitable customers who wish to borrow and transmission of funds. Apart from traditional business, banks now a days provide a wide range of services to satisfy the financial and non financial needs of all types of customers from the smallest account holder to the largest company and in some cases of non customers. The range of services offered differs from bank to bank depending mainly on the type and size of the bank.

Whether a reader agrees or disagrees with how the centralized banking system was created, the foundation for which it was built off of has continued to grow over a century with key fundamentals still in place today. The author’s implications demonstrate that an economists, the intellectuals, were responsible for the banking reform that led to a structured banking system. Could this all have been possible without the influence of the economists? In my opinion, the author has provided enough evidence that would allow the reader to properly analyze and have confidence in the integrity of the article.

New financial regulations have been created and existing regulations have been revised in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The role of financial regulatory policy in the financial crisis is sometimes presented in a way that will help the economy improve. Deregulation was an approach that the economy was implementing towards to. According to Kroszner and Strahan in the reading about What Drives Deregulation?, in order to achieve a positive theory of regulatory change, it is crucial for an economy to characterize the regulatory process as one in which “well-organized groups use the power of the state to capture rents at the expense of more dispersed groups.” (Kroszner, Strahan Pp 1438) This suggested that the elimination of restrictions on bank branching will benefit the theories of regulatory change.

The Banking Industry plays an important role in the economic development of the country and is the most dominant segment of the financial sector. Banks encourage economic growth by allocating savings to investments that have potential to yield higher returns. They perform their basic role of accepting deposits and lending funds from these deposits. Banks securely save the money of depositors, provide interest to them, and lend the funds raised from depositors to consumers. They are in a wide range of sizes, from large Global Banks to Regional and Community Banks. We can study the structure of an organized banking industry by taking an example of Indian banking industry:
