Banks’ bad loans may soar to 9.5% by Sept 2022: RBI

The Reserve Bank of India predicted on Wednesday that by September next year, the non-performing loans of Indian banks may rise to 9.5% of its total loans.

The central bank pointed out in its biennial financial stability report that if India’s GDP shrinks by 2.1% in the second half of this fiscal year and grows by 1.1% in the first half of the year, this will happen in a “severe stress scenario”. condition. Half of the 2022-’23 fiscal year.

The Reserve Bank of India stated that under the “baseline scenario,” that is, GDP growth in the second half of this fiscal year will be 6.3%, and GDP growth in the next fiscal year will be 12.5%, and non-performing loans may rise to 8.1%.

The Reserve Bank of India reported that in September this year, non-performing loans accounted for 6.9% of total loans, a record low in six years. However, the central bank pointed out that research in emerging economies shows that non-performing loans usually peak within six to eight quarters after the start of a recession.

The Indian economy has entered a recession phase in the second quarter (July to September) of the last fiscal year (2020-21). When GDP shrinks for two or more consecutive quarters, the economy is considered to be in a technological recession.

Affected by the nationwide coronavirus lockdown, the Indian economy contracted an unprecedented 23.9% in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year (April to June), and contracted by 7.5% in the second quarter.

However, the financial stability report released on Wednesday indicated that the lending solutions of Indian banks have improved. In the last financial stability report released in July, the Reserve Bank of India predicted that even under the “baseline scenario”, non-performing loans could rise to 9.8% by March 2022.

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
