CRISIL Upgrades Outlook On 18 PSBs From Negative To Stable
Rating agency CRISIL revised its outlook on 18 public sector banks (PSBs)
from “negative” to “stable” after the government announced bank-wise capital
infusion and reform plans. The revision in outlook is primarily driven
by the government’s PSB recapitalization programme for this fiscal (2017-18).
This will improve the financial risk profile of these banks and help them meet
Basel-III regulatory capital norms. It also provides a cushion against an
expected rise in provisioning for non-performing assets (NPAs).
