India: Growth Outlook Remains Tilted to the Downside

RBL Bank plans to raise between US$150-200m later this year by selling a mix of primary and secondary shares. In this insight, we have looked at the company's past financial performance, along with its return profile in order to benchmark it versus other listed players. RBL is similar to other listed old age private sector banks in terms of asset size and returns and the deal will probably need to come in at a discount to this group for it to do well.

Recent monetary policy and fiscal policy announcements have not been encouraging, but in fact confusing. RBI, as we shall see below, now has two monetary policy frameworks – inflation targeting and “monetary targeting’’ – that it wants to follow – and these could be contradictory creating confusion about monetary policy intent. The RBI’s policy quandary has to an extent been driven by the poor quality of the fiscal adjustment that the government has undertaken. The Indian government’s fiscal consolidation efforts thus far have been an accounting mirage. The political and the monetary authorities will need to work together to frame appropriate and coordinated policies to ward off the emerging risks to the economy.
