Liquidity, Recapitalisation & increased access to funds for MSME’s is the crux of the announcements

“Liquidity, Recapitalisation & increased access to funds for MSME’s is the crux of the announcements made by the RBI Governor. The RBI’s decision to reduce the reverse repo rate further by 25 bps and reduction in LCR, will help bring liquidity in the market place with banks lending further. Crucially, the banks need to give up the cautious lending approach to ensure delivery of RBI measures on the ground. The refinance facilities of Rs.50,000 crores for NABARD & NHB, and mandatory 50% investment of TLTRO-2 to small, mid-sized NBFC’s will bring much needed capital for HFC’s & NBFCs, a move that was much required. The extension of realty loans by a year and NPA Classification relief for SMA accounts will go a long way in helping developers and MSME’s tide over the ongoing crisis.” Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman Director, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory
