MUMBAI : India’s securitisation market that exploded in FY19 and held up in FY20 in terms of volume will find the going tough this year.Transactions are expected to be fewer, even as, for cash-starved non-bank finance companies (NBFCs), securitisation remains the easiest route to conserve capital by offloading loans.
The key reason has been the element of moratorium introduced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).Buyers of securitised loan bundles now have no way to determine how healthy the underlying loans are given that most of them would enjoy a six-month holiday on repayments.
This means that wary banks are avoiding purchases of such loan bundles. Ergo, in FY21, securitisation volume is expected to drop at least 30%, according to.
