RBI Financial Stability Report: Breather in asset quality for banks in these sectors
According to RBI's latest Financial Stability report, among the broad sectors, the asset quality of sector improved in September, 2018 as compared to March 2018. The improvement in asset quality of industry sector was marked by a reduction in fresh slippages in September 2018.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its eighteenth issue of the Financial Stability Report (FSR) today, revealed that, quality of banks showed an improvement with the gross non-performing assets (GNPA) ratio of SCBs declining from 11.5 per cent in March 2018 to 10.8 per cent in September 2018. But what was interesting to see was that banks were finally witnessing reverse trend in stressed asset exposures in sectors like industry and services. It needs to be noted that, industry sector has been the major cause of concern for both RBI and banks, as the exposure of gross NPA in this segment has been highest. But now this is definitely about to change, if you look at RBI's data.

On the other hand, this was not the case for agriculture and retail sector.
