• Surplus Liquidity-
The system has been in surplus liquidity since FY20.
The RBI had gradually begun absorbing liquidity since Dec-2021 and now if inflation spirals up, it will be forced to accelerate monetary tightening.

Energy imports-
How does it affect banks?
India is dependent on imports for its energy needs (>4% of GDP). Higher crude prices would add to inflationary pressures.
This can force RBI to use its monetary hand to curb demand side inflation by cutting down on credit.

Credit Growth-
Credit growth was up by 9% in Q3FY22 on YOY basis. It was primarily driven by Retail and SME sector.
However, higher inflation & commodity prices can put a dent on the growth. And we can see a pullback mainly in Auto and housing sector.

A look at Home Loans-
Home loans have seen healthy growth over the past couple of years (10-30% of loan books for the banks). With the potential rise in rates and uncertainty over future rate increases, we may see some impact on loan demand.

Maintaining Asset Quality-
Key reason for the expectation of stable retail asset quality is that banks have undergone through 2 COVID waves where most of the weak accounts have slipped. Also, fresh lending in segments like unsecured was held back by large players.

A look at Corporate Profitability-
1. Corporate Profitability is expected to trim down due to rise in input prices.
2. But Corporates have been deleveraging consistently which will reduce the risk.
3. Aggregate Interest Coverage Ratio is also at a 10 year high!

Banks carry adequate liquidity buffers-
In the face of Covid-19 uncertainty, banks had ramped up liquidity buffers much above the regulatory requirement of 100% and even with some drawdown in 3Q22 with improving growth, they continue to carry surplus LCRs at 120-160%.

What led to the underperformance of the Banking Sector-
1. Higher FII ownership has directly impacted the stock price, as we saw a huge FII outflow.
2. Higher rates expectations may have been largely priced in

Attractive Valuations-
Valuations are at a discount to 5year average for most banks except ICICI despite the healthy outlook on asset quality.
Even in case of monetary tightening,large private banks with strong NIM outlook and healthy asset quality looks attractive.

Conclusion-
We last saw rising rates in Mar-2010, when the repo rate increased by 375bp over 18 months to 8.5%. Even during that period, the banking system continued to see healthy growth of 15-20% from FY09-14.
So is there any reason to worry now?
