&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;One of the standout features of the monetary stimulus in India has been the wide divergence between the RBI&amp;rsquo;s policy rates and the actual lending rates of banks &amp;mdash; the latter haven&amp;rsquo;t fallen nearly as much as the RBI would have liked. On Wednesday, Governor Subbarao ticked Indian banks off for the stickiness and non-transparency in lending rates and urged them to get out of the mindset which has led to &amp;ldquo;boring&amp;rdquo;, excessively conservative banking. The problem of non-transparency is well-identified and has a ready solution. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The core of the problem is what banks call their benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR). It is this rate which has been many percentage points higher than the RBI&amp;rsquo;s repo rate. However, a lot of lending, particularly to prime borrowers (mostly big business), takes place at rates much lower than the double digit BPLR. At the same time, small businesses and individuals often pay rates much higher than the BPLR. The combination makes the BPLR meaningless and there is therefore no transparency in lending rates. However, an RBI committee has already recommended replacement of the BPLR with something called a base rate, which will be directly linked to deposit rates offered by each bank. This will create a floor on which banks will additionally charge their costs and a risk weightage. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;One of the reasons for stickiness which will not go away with the base rate is the high operational costs incurred by Indian banks. Subbarao has urged banks to cut down on costs by improving efficiency. They may yet follow his advice, but the only way to enforce efficiency is to increase competition. The RBI has let Indian banking be too insulated from competition for too long. It is this insulation from competition which ultimately leads to boring banking as well. It is easy enough to make handsome profits without doing the kind of lending the fast-growing real sector needs. As Subbarao said, banks need to step up on financing infrastructure. In other more advanced economies, non-banking financial institutions perform this role, but in our relatively under-developed financial system, banks need to fill the gap. The time for celebrating survival in the financial crisis is over. Indian banks need to move to the next level.&lt;/font&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;One of the standout features of the monetary stimulus in India has been the wide divergence between the RBI&amp;rsquo;s policy rates and the actual lending rates of banks &amp;mdash; the latter haven&amp;rsquo;t fallen nearly as much as the RBI would have liked. On Wednesday, Governor Subbarao ticked Indian banks off for the stickiness and non-transparency in lending rates and urged them to get out of the mindset which has led to &amp;ldquo;boring&amp;rdquo;, excessively conservative banking. The problem of non-transparency is well-identified and has a ready solution. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;The core of the problem is what banks call their benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR). It is this rate which has been many percentage points higher than the RBI&amp;rsquo;s repo rate. However, a lot of lending, particularly to prime borrowers (mostly big business), takes place at rates much lower than the double digit BPLR. At the same time, small businesses and individuals often pay rates much higher than the BPLR. The combination makes the BPLR meaningless and there is therefore no transparency in lending rates. However, an RBI committee has already recommended replacement of the BPLR with something called a base rate, which will be directly linked to deposit rates offered by each bank. This will create a floor on which banks will additionally charge their costs and a risk weightage. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;One of the reasons for stickiness which will not go away with the base rate is the high operational costs incurred by Indian banks. Subbarao has urged banks to cut down on costs by improving efficiency. They may yet follow his advice, but the only way to enforce efficiency is to increase competition. The RBI has let Indian banking be too insulated from competition for too long. It is this insulation from competition which ultimately leads to boring banking as well. It is easy enough to make handsome profits without doing the kind of lending the fast-growing real sector needs. As Subbarao said, banks need to step up on financing infrastructure. In other more advanced economies, non-banking financial institutions perform this role, but in our relatively under-developed financial system, banks need to fill the gap. The time for celebrating survival in the financial crisis is over. Indian banks need to move to the next level.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

Rates of reform

One of the standout features of the monetary stimulus in India has been the wide divergence between the RBI’s policy rates and the actual lending rates of banks — the latter haven’t fallen nearly as much as the RBI would have liked. On Wednesday, Governor Subbarao ticked Indian banks off for the stickiness and non-transparency in lending rates and urged them to get out of the mindset which has led to “boring”, excessively conservative banking. The problem of non-transparency is well-identified and has a ready solution. The core of the problem is what banks call their benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR). It is this rate which has been many percentage points higher than the RBI’s repo rate. However, a lot of lending, particularly to prime borrowers (mostly big business), takes place at rates much lower than the double digit BPLR. At the same time, small businesses and individuals often pay rates much higher than the BPLR. The combination makes the BPLR meaningless and there is therefore no transparency in lending rates. However, an RBI committee has already recommended replacement of the BPLR with something called a base rate, which will be directly linked to deposit rates offered by each bank. This will create a floor on which banks will additionally charge their costs and a risk weightage. One of the reasons for stickiness which will not go away with the base rate is the high operational costs incurred by Indian banks. Subbarao has urged banks to cut down on costs by improving efficiency. They may yet follow his advice, but the only way to enforce efficiency is to increase competition. The RBI has let Indian banking be too insulated from competition for too long. It is this insulation from competition which ultimately leads to boring banking as well. It is easy enough to make handsome profits without doing the kind of lending the fast-growing real sector needs. As Subbarao said, banks need to step up on financing infrastructure. In other more advanced economies, non-banking financial institutions perform this role, but in our relatively under-developed financial system, banks need to fill the gap. The time for celebrating survival in the financial crisis is over. Indian banks need to move to the next level.
