Change of Picture.
Up to early 90s corporates pursued aggressive capacity expansion & diversification Everything produced was sold irrespective of quality/costs. Speculative gains were driving use of working capital. This stopped after liberalisation made cost competitiveness critical and so the demand for Term loans and working capital declined. Five years from 2002 saw up-turn in trade cycle but from second half of year 2008 recession took a grip. Through fiscal means Govt. has ensured soft landing but groth has suffered. Real estate and export led bubble has burst Regulator is forced to prefer recession stimulus over inflation A conflict is clearly seen in regulators twin role as monetary authority and Govt. debt manager
Current trends.
Efficiency in use of working capital is increasing significantly with use of technology and better practices. Banks are moving money faster. Banks IT systems are talking to customers ERP systems.

With rise in inflation, inventory and receivable levels are going up and so also the need for bank finance. Suppliers supply goods not credit. Banks prefer to provide cash-flow based structured rather than vanila finance against current assets.
Current trends.
Risk unbundling and risk pricing is the KEY channel financing is the buzz word after Retail Financing.. For a large manufacturing company, banks finance suppliers on one hand and dealers on the other. Various kind of comforts offered to the bankers in place of security through transaction based structuring. Transaction history is an important guide.
