Edited excerpts:
As we head into 2025, where does India's banking system stand?
Sinha: The Indian financial system is doing extraordinarily well right now. The hard work of the last 10 years to restore strength and resilience to the Indian financial system is paying off.
Whether we look at our public sector banks, our private banks, or NBFCs, all are doing very, very well in terms of growth, profitability, non-performing assets (NPAs), and also in terms of the services that they are delivering to customers.
And the innovation that we are seeing is quite remarkable. We are also pushing the envelope in terms of what is possible for customers as well.
One of the remarkable features in the most recent quarter for the top four banks is a return on equity of 16-20%. Indian banks are running a very healthy book. How did that happen?
