🍒 75% of borrowers to benefit from interest waiver: Crisil : Over 40 per cent of system credit and 75 per cent of borrowers will benefit from interest-on-interest concession under the recently announced government scheme, according to Crisil Ratings. This will cost the exchequer about ₹7,500 crore. The cost to exchequer would have halved if waiver was allowed only where moratorium was availed of, as per the credit rating agency’s analysis. “From a borrower’s perspective, the benefit would be relatively higher for those who had availed of higher-yielding loans. “Consequently, borrowers of unsecured, micro and gold loans will benefit more than those who had taken home loans,” the credit rating agency said. - Business Line

🍒 RBI encourages investment in sovereign bonds as part of liquidity measures : The Reserve Bank of India is making longer-tenor sovereign bonds attractive again. Quantum Mutual Fund has moved to the 10-14 year segment after staying in duration of up to three years in August in its 691 million rupees ($9.4 million) Dynamic Bond Fund. UTI Asset Management Co. has turned overweight on bonds maturing in up to 15 years, after cutting duration two months ago. The strategy change was prompted by a series of liquidity measures announced by the Reserve Bank of India earlier this month, including doubling the size of open market operations. That’s spurred expectations that the central bank would intervene regularly to keep yields anchored. Confidence over RBI support has even outweighed concern over the government’s plan to increase debt sales. - Business Standard.
🍒 RBI's debt restructuring scheme sees few takers in corporate world: Banks : The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) loan restructuring scheme for Covid-19-affected borrowers has seen few takers in the corporate world so far, according to bank executives who have seen very little interest in it from their corporate accounts. Under the scheme, borrowers’ accounts will not be downgraded as sub-standard or ‘non-performing’ if their loans are restructured. Rather, they will retain their ‘standard’ status. But the fear of a negative impact on their credit rating is holding companies back. “There is not much interest among corporates to go for restructuring since the biggest fear is the impact of credit ratings on firms. We have received only four to five enquiries, which haven’t been confirmed, for accounts with exposure in the range of Rs 100-1,000 crore,” said the managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) of a large state-owned bank. - Business standard
