What Next For YES BANK
At the height of the 2008 financial crisis, New York-based JP Morgan Chase agreed to bail out a troubled investment bank, Bear Stearns, after much prodding by the US government. The deal to buy the marquee bank at a measly price of $10 per share as against the market price of $30 per share (pre-crisis high of $133 per share) after the crisis looked attractive. JP Morgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon initially put up a brave front by boasting about the strengths of the bank’s $2.7 trillion-balance sheet and the marginal impact the acquisition would have on its capital. But as years passed, Dimon realised the big mistake the bank had made in rescuing Bear Stearns. Seven years after the global crisis hit the financial system, Dimon publicly expressed his regret. “No, we would not do something like Bear Stearns again,” he wrote in a letter to shareholders.

This particular story is not to draw any parallel in India. The purpose is to make the point that things do go wrong as ‘bailouts’ are always risky, tricky and, at times, can threaten the very existence of the acquiring institution. Yes Bank’s bailout by India’s largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI), is one of the biggest in Indian financial system’s history. The Indian market hadn’t seen bailouts worth hundreds and thousands of crores. But that is changing. Take the ₹13,000 crore fraud at the public sector bank, Punjab National Bank, which created a big hole in its balance sheet, which the government then tried to fill by injecting fresh capital. Similarly, the weak IDBI Bank was handed over to LIC, which had to pump in over ₹35,000 crore fresh capital to put the bank back on track.
