New Delhi: Our banking sector’s risk appetite is quite low. MSME sector needs a lot of boost in terms of capital support. Therefore, India needs three-four large lenders which could figure among top 200 global-sized banks, Niti Aayog vice-chairman Rajiv Kumar said today. Kumar made a strong case for giving banking sector more freedom to take risks and provide credit to industry especially the MSME sector. 

 

Rajiv Kumar argued that we need to have 3-4 banks of a global standard in size. They should figure among top 200 global-sized banks.

 

Speaking at an event here, Kumar said that India's banking sector is highly conservative and risk-averse. 


He said that our banking sector’s risk appetite is minimal and its capacity of project assessment is not as much it should be. Indian banking system takes recourse to safe banking. It should encourage lending to the MSME sector.
