Banking stocksIf you see it all started with RBI changing its stance last year with repo rate cuts. So it started with easing liquidity, lower interest rates and in last couple of policy it was more credit where the risk rates were adjusted. With these deals happening, I think there is an important pivot happening in terms allowing foreign players to hold substantial stake. We saw that with Yes Bank. We have seen that with Sammaan Capital. We have seen that now with Federal Bank and RBL Bank. This augurs well for the industry because this brings in – cost of funds go down, access to global capital goes up and it change in norms wherein you are allowed to do acquisition finance, you can increase now lending beyond ₹10,000 crores. So, they announced almost 20 measures related to credit and regulatory easing. It’s more a signal that more reforms are coming. And it’s very important for a, for a banking sector.Federal BankFederal Bank is also showing great turnaround since leadership change last quarter was very good NIMs improved, CASA improved, loan mix improved, overall the core operating performance was pretty solid and this is growth capital, they are very capitalised. I think more the bank diversifies from Kerala to more geographies there is some bit of a niggling issues with union etc. because it is it is an old bank. Once they are able to get that and get the culture right, I think this bank definitely deserves a re-rating in our view with the disclaimer, we hold it in our portfolio.
