IMF-India: Selected Issues

March 2, 2016--SUMMARY
The background papers for the 2016 Article IV explore key issues affecting the Indian economy, and implications for fiscal, monetary, financial sector and other structural policies.

It finds that low profitability, coupled with high leverage, has put a strain on firms' debt repayment capacity. Stress tests of corporate balance sheets suggest that their exposure to potential shocks has continued to increase. Importantly, the weaker position of domestic corporates has also accounted for a substantial deterioration of banks' asset quality. Stress test simulations suggest that potential capitalization needs should be manageable, but may require additional fiscal outlays.
