  • Do Bank Mergers, a Panacea for Indian Banking Ailment - an Empirical Study of World’S Experience
    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 21, Issue 10. Series. V (October. 2019), PP 01-08 www.iosrjournals.org Do Bank Mergers, A Panacea For Indian Banking Ailment - An Empirical Study Of World’s Experience G.V.L.Narasamamba Corresponding Author: G.V.L.Narasamamba ABSTRACT: In the changed scenario of world, with globalization, the need for strong financial systems in different countries, to compete with their global partners successfully, has become the need of the hour. It’s not an exception for India also. A strong financial system is possible for a country with its strong banking system only. But unfortunately the banking systems of many emerging economies are fragmented in terms of the number and size of institutions, ownership patterns, competitiveness, use of modern technology, and other structural features. Most of the Asian Banks are family owned whereas in Latin America and Central Europe, banks were historically owned by the government. Some commercial banks in emerging economies are at the cutting edge of technology and financial innovation, but many are struggling with management of credit and liquidity risks. Banking crises in many countries have weakened the financial systems. In this context, the natural alternative emerged was to improve the structure and efficiency of the banking industry through consolidation and mergers among other financial sector reforms. In India improvement of operational and distribution efficiency of commercial banks has always been an issue for discussion for the Indian policy makers. Government of India in consultation with RBI has, over the years, appointed several committees to suggest structural changes towards this objective.

    Research Article Volume 1 Issue 6 2015 ISSN: 2395-7964 SS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH Merger and Acquisitions in the Indian Banking Sector Prof.D. Suryachandra Rao Faculty of Commerce and Management Krishna University Machilipatnam, A.P Dr. M. Venkateswara Rao Principal Kunda College of Technology & Management Vijayawada, A.P., India Abstract The International Banking scenario has shown major changes in the past few years in terms of the Mergers and Acquisitions. Mergers and Acquisition is a useful tool for the growth and expansion in any Industry and the Indian Banking Sector is no exception. It is helpful for the survival of the weak banks by merging into the larger bank. Due to the financial system deregulation, entry of new players and products with advanced technology, globalization of the financial markets, changing customer behaviour, wider services at cheaper rates, shareholder wealth demands etc., have been on rise.

For this purpose, a comparison between pre and post merger performance in terms of Operating Profit Margin, Net Profit Margin, Return on Assets, Return on Equity, Earning per Share, Debt Equity Ratio, Dividend Payout Ratio and Market Share Price has been made. In the initial stage, after merging, there may not be a significant improvement due to teething problems but later they may improve upon. Key words: Mergers. Acquisitions, Financial Performance, Ratio, Profitability 76 01.00 Introduction Mergers and Acquisitions is one of the widely used strategies by the banks to strengthen and maintain their position in the market.

ADB’s long-term strategic framework, “Strategy 2020,” emphasizes financial inclusion as an essential part of financial sector development: Without access to formal financial services, the unserved and underserved segments of society will be excluded from growth and its benefits.1 Digital finance presents a potentially transformational opportunity to advance financial inclusion. ADB engaged Oliver Wyman and MicroSave to conduct the following study on the role digital finance can play in accelerating financial inclusion, focusing on four Southeast Asian markets – Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Myanmar. This study – informed by more than 80 stakeholder interviews across the four markets, extensive secondary research, and economic analysis – is an endeavour to better understand and quantify the nature of this impact. Oliver Wyman is a global leader in management consulting with a specialization in financial services. As a recognized thought leader in financial inclusion and digital finance, Oliver Wyman has a strong body of client work covering a broad range of financial institutions, regulators, and multilateral agencies.
