2014.11.28 - NAEC Group Meeting_Adrian Blundell-WignallOECD_NAEC
The document discusses several issues related to finance and the economy. It notes that financial deregulation and innovation led to the 2008 liquidity crisis due to complex derivatives and relationships between counterparties. Since then, derivatives have shifted from banks to shadow banks. There has also been an emerging market bubble in corporate credit as investors seek yield. The document raises concerns about liquidity risks if interest rates rise or demand slows, given the shift away from banks as liquidity providers. It argues that new approaches are needed to encourage long-term, sustainable investment by non-banks.

Factors Influencing Non Performing Assets in Commercial Banks: An Empirical S...paperpublications3
Abstract: In the present scenario, NPAs have been the most vexing problem faced by commercial banks. The Govt. of India and Reserve Bank of India have initiated various measures to control NPAs in the post reform years. But banks are yet to solve the dilemma. This needs to be remedied. Thus, it is pertinent to examine the asset quality and NPAs of commercial banks in the present global competitive scenario. An investigation in respect of asset quality and NPAs of banks is therefore likely to be highly related academic issue particularly in a backward region. With this backdrop, an attempt has been made in this paper to examine the list of factors influencing Nonperforming Assets from banker’s perspective and borrower’s perspective in selected banks analyzed by using mean, standard deviation and t test in SPSS 20 for this objective a hypothesis framed as there is no significant difference between banker’s perception and borrower’s perception of the factors influencing Nonperforming Assets in the selected Commercial Banks in Andhra Pradesh.
Deloitte Report "Global Powers of Retail 2014"Oliver Grave
This document provides an overview and analysis of the global economic outlook and its implications for retailers. It discusses economic growth forecasts and challenges facing major economies like China, the United States, and Europe. For China, it notes a slowing economy and issues like debt from shadow banking that could impact sustained growth. The US is expected to see better growth in 2014 than 2013, assuming the Federal Reserve's tapering of monetary policy proceeds smoothly. Political uncertainties pose risks to predictions.
The document discusses challenges with impairment reporting and building stakeholder confidence. It finds that over half of stakeholders surveyed do not believe the economic recovery has begun. There is uncertainty around impairment levels reported given the difficult economic environment. The real estate, banking, automotive and capital markets sectors are most likely to see further impairments. Improving impairment reporting transparency through better communication of assumptions and sensitivity analysis can help build stakeholder confidence.
The document summarizes key concerns and outlook for banks in Indonesia based on meetings with banks and companies during a recent trip to Indonesia. The top three concerns expressed by banks are: 1) currency volatility due to the rupiah's large depreciation, 2) increasing regulatory intervention, and 3) potential delays in government spending if the tax revenue target is missed. Large banks are expected to see slowing earnings growth while smaller banks should see a recovery as margins improve and credit costs stabilize. Among smaller banks, BTPN is the preferred pick.

Session by Rolf Alter, Director, OECD Public Governance and Territorial Development
Money plays a role both as a channel for citizens to support their candidates or political parties, and as a means for candidates and political parties to reach out to their constituencies. Access to resources for political parties and candidates also shapes political competition. Parliamentarians have an important stake in advancing the global debate on the role of money in politics. There are still many loopholes in political party funding regulations that are open to exploitation by powerful special interests. Loans, membership fees, and third party funding are all used to circumvent spending limits and other regulations. Many countries struggle to define and regulate third-party campaigning leaving them ill-equipped to prevent the channelling of election spending through supposedly independent committees and interest groups. Only a handful of countries have regulations in place for third-party campaigning and globalisation is complicating the regulation of private funding of political parties as foreign companies and wealthy individuals are often deeply integrated with domestic business interests. This OECD report finds that 29% of OECD countries have an independent electoral management body and there is no one-size-fits all model. But whatever the structure, the institutions responsible for enforcing political finance regulations should have a clear mandate, legal power and the capacity to deal with large volumes of work. While data clearly shows that sanctions are effective in improving compliance with the rules, many countries struggle to ensure sanctions that are both proportionate and dissuasive. One clear-cut lesson is that ensuring the effective implementation of political finance regulations still remains challenging in many countries. The Framework on Financing Democracy presented in this report shapes the global debate on risks and policy options, and provides tangible advice for the funding of political parties and electoral campaigns. The report also features detailed case studies of Canada, Chile, Estonia, France, Korea, Mexico, United Kingdom, Brazil and India.

- The document is a letter from Western Reserve Capital Management providing a review of 2009 and outlook for 2010. It discusses the opportunities that arose from the financial crisis and delays in addressing issues like mark-to-market accounting.
- It argues that mark-to-market accounting exaggerated fear and uncertainty during the crisis in ways that were not reflective of the underlying cash flows and credit performance of financial institutions. This created a historic buying opportunity for fundamentally-driven investors.
- Large US banks have recovered strongly but remain undervalued relative to their fundamentals and adjusted book values, presenting continued opportunities according to the analysis.

The document discusses how banking mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are evolving in a new environment shaped by long-term trends and short-term factors. It notes that banking M&A has declined significantly since the financial crisis but will remain important for adaptation. Key drivers changing banking M&A include economic growth in emerging markets, increasing banking integration globally, ongoing regulatory reforms, and strategic shifts in goals and participants. The document then analyzes how banking M&A is evolving differently across key regions and through other transactions like loan sales.
Benefits-of-Financial-Technology-for-Banks_RMA Jan 2017Max Zahner
This document summarizes how community banks can use technology to successfully compete in commercial and industrial lending. It discusses that C&I lending can provide higher returns than other types of lending but is difficult for banks to do well due to the complex underwriting and loan administration processes required. It then describes how adopting new technology can streamline these processes, reducing the time and costs to underwrite loans and conduct loan reviews. This allows community banks to profitably lend to smaller businesses and increase their return on equity through expanding their C&I lending business.
This document summarizes a presentation on five future forces that will impact community banks between now and 2020. It outlines both known factors like declining bank profits and increasing regulation, as well as unknowns around the future roles of branches and non-traditional competitors. The five future forces identified are regulation, economy, competition, shifting customer needs, and technology. Each force is discussed in terms of opportunities and challenges it may present for community banks. The document concludes by posing questions about the long-term viability of community banking and possible opportunities in areas like rural and business banking.
Performance evaluation of credit risk management : A Case study on State-owne...Selim Muhammad
This document discusses the performance of credit risk management at state-owned commercial banks in Bangladesh. It aims to assess trends in non-performing loans, identify the causes of non-performing loans, analyze their impact on bank profitability, and recommend ways to reduce non-performing loans. The study finds that poor credit risk management practices have led to high non-performing loan percentages at these banks. Key causes identified include lack of proper loan analysis, approval of loans under political pressure, and weak monitoring and internal controls. High non-performing loans are found to negatively impact bank capital, revenues, and profits. The document recommends strengthening credit risk management guidelines and practices to reduce non-performing loans.

This document discusses the importance of controlling operating expenses to ensure profitability on loans. It provides the following key points:
1) While interest margins have widened as rates have fallen, operating costs as a percentage of assets have risen for mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans.
2) Calculating accurate loan origination and maintenance costs is important for properly pricing loans. Formulas are provided to determine these per-loan costs based on department costs and time spent on origination vs maintenance.
3) Controlling costs, such as by requiring electronic payments, can significantly increase returns on auto loans compared to simply raising rates or fees. Reducing costs preserves competitive positioning versus competitors who rely on price increases.

Research Objectives and Possible Research Questions, Classified Loan, Theories: Ethical theory, Moral Hazard, Political Power, Transaction Cost, Stakeholder, Conceptual framework, Research Position, References and Reviewed Literature
The document discusses competition in the Indian microfinance sector and its effects. It presents results from a study analyzing loan repayment data from multiple MFIs with over 500,000 client records. The study found that approximately 10% of MFI clients had loans from multiple lenders. Interviews with these clients suggested they borrowed from multiple MFIs primarily to obtain larger loan sizes or as a backup in case of default. While competition benefits customers through lower rates and better service, concerns remain around potential negatives like over-indebtedness and mission drift. The document advocates further research to better understand the impacts of competition.

The study suggests banks focus on deposit mobilization to enhance lending performance and develop strategic plans.
Finance as a driver and constraint on different types of growth - Stuart Fras...enterpriseresearchcentre
This document discusses the relationship between entrepreneurial finance and business growth. It notes that available data shows declines in both debt and equity financing for small and medium enterprises. The relationship between funding gaps and growth is complex, with heterogeneity in both demand and supply factors. Initial analysis finds that rejection of loan applications was associated with reduced sales growth during the financial crisis, indicating financial constraints, but not before. More research is needed to better understand how different types of financing relate to growth over a business's lifecycle. The document outlines implications for policies aimed at improving access to credit and equity financing, as well as areas for further research.

The overall document aims to help microfinance organizations better understand their market opportunities and make strategic decisions about their micro
Best Approach to Finance SMEs-Program Lending rabbani63
Program lending is an approach for banks to finance small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in a standardized way. It involves designing uniform lending programs tailored for specific SME sectors. This reduces processing costs and credit risk for banks. Eligibility criteria, terms, conditions and simplified approval processes are standardized. Banks can develop quality SME lending portfolios and lower costs while achieving higher profit margins. Implementing program lending requires support from senior management, credit data, and redesigning business processes to coordinate standardized SME financing at scale.
This document outlines a presentation on best practices for improving bank profitability. The presentation discusses strategies such as increasing revenues through commercial and consumer banking lines, improving funding mixes, and reducing expenses. It emphasizes growing earning assets, increasing commercial and commercial loan percentages, and utilizing existing capacity without adding staff. The role of electronic and mobile banking is also highlighted as an important way to efficiently meet customer needs and challenges in a increasingly technology-focused environment. The presentation aims to provide industry observations and strategies that banks can use to enhance performance.
This document provides a comparative analysis of three UK neo-banks: Monzo, Starling Bank, and Revolut. It includes sections on their executive teams, go-to-market strategies, product portfolios, key app features, customer acquisition strategies, marketing and branding, funding and valuation, financial performance, and unit economics. The analysis finds that while all three neo-banks have experienced rapid customer growth, Revolut has achieved customer milestones the fastest and has the highest valuation at $5.5 billion. However, all three currently operate at a net loss due to high operating expenses compared to revenue.

The document provides an overview of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). It discusses SBA's strategic goals, budget, programs, and employee breakdown. The key programs are categorized as Capital, Contracting, Counseling, and Disaster. Capital programs include loans to small businesses. Contracting programs help small businesses get federal contracts. Counseling programs like SBDCs and SCORE provide business advising. Disaster programs provide loans to small businesses and homeowners after declared disasters.
The document discusses the need for a bank to implement online banking capabilities. It notes several challenges faced by both banks and customers without online banking, such as declining revenue, lengthy loan approval processes, and the need for customers to physically visit branches. Implementing online banking would help overcome these issues and provide benefits like increased convenience and cost savings. The document outlines an action plan for banks to transition to online services that includes digitalization techniques, workforce training, and budget allocation for implementation costs.
This document discusses fundraising for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and mid-corporate sectors. It begins by defining SMEs and mid-corporates based on employee count and annual turnover. It then highlights the importance of these sectors in driving employment, innovation, and economic growth globally and in India.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

10. Industry Observations
Community Banking
FDIC December 2012 Study
o Traditional lending, deposit gathering and limited geographic scope
o 94% of all banking companies (includes 330 larger banks)
Non-community banks – 1984 to 2011
Accumulated 86% of industry assets
Shift their activities to fast-growing markets
Acquiring nearly 8,700 banks
Asset growth led by mortgage and consumer lending (mortgage debt
grew 7.7 times and consumer debt grew 5 times)
May 15, 2014 10
11. What is Underlying The Numbers
1993 to 2006 non-community banks reported ROA an average
of 35 bps above community banks
Narrowing of the traditional advantage of community banks
o Difference in NIM between community banks and others has narrowed
o Community banks derive 80% pf their revenues fro Net Interest Margin
Non-community banks ability to generate non-interest income from a
wider array of sources at much larger levels
These led to an “Efficiency Gap”
o 1.3% in 1998 to 9.7% in 2011
o Cumulative 8% increase
o Up to 10 cents more on every dollar or revenue drops to bottom line of a
non-community bank
