GLOBAL ANALYSIS
Before embarking on any stock research project, it is important to understand
the circumstances and events that play a significant role in influencing the
global economy. It is important to take a top-down approach to assess each
event that has had a significant impact on the market, both contemporary and
historical. For the same reason, we need to experience global events that can
affect our research.
Covid – 19 Crisis
The June 2020 Global Economic Prospects provides a short-term and near-term
outlook on the impact of the pandemic, as well as the long-term damage the
pandemic has done to growth prospects. Baseline projections project global
GDP to contract by 5.2% in 2020 using market exchange rate weightings. This
is the deepest global recession in decades, despite extraordinary efforts by
governments to combat the recession with fiscal and monetary support. In the
longer term, the deep recession caused by the pandemic will leave lasting marks
through reduced investment, erosion of human capital through job and
education losses, and fragmentation of global trade and supply links. is
expected. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in India has been
largely disorganized. According to the Ministry of Statistics, India's growth
slowed to 3.1 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Indian government's top
economic adviser said the decline was mainly due to the impact of the
coronavirus pandemic on the Indian economy. India, in particular, experienced
a slowdown prior to the pandemic, and the currbeforeemic "extends existing
risks to India's economic outlook," according to the World Bank.
Economic activity fell from 82.9 on 22nd March to 44.7 on 26th April,
according to the Nomura India Business Resumption Index. By September 13,
2020, economic activity had largely returned to pre-lockdown levels. The
unemployment rate he rose from 6.7% on March 15 to 26% on April 19, before
returning to pre-lockdown levels by mid-June. An estimated 140 million (140
million) people have lost their jobs during the lockdown, and many others have
had their salaries cut. More than 45% of his households across the country
reported a year-over-year decrease in income. The Indian economy was
expected to lose more than 32,000 crores ($4.5 billion) each day for the first 21
days of the full lockdown declared after the coronavirus outbreak. Under full
lockdown, India's 2.8 Less than a quarter of the trillion-dollar economy was
10
operational. Up to 53% of domestic businesses were expected to be significantly
affected. Supply chains are under pressure due to lockdown restrictions in place.
Initially, there was a lack of clarity in rationalizing what was "material" and
what was not. People in the informal sector and day labour groups were most at
risk. Many farmers across the country who grow fresh produce also face
uncertainty.
DOT COM BUBBLE
The dot-com bubble also referred to as the Internet bubble, refers to the period
between 1995 and 2000 when investors pumped money into Internet-based start-
ups in the hopes that these fledgling companies would soon turn a profit. The
speculative investments in dot-coms (so named for the ".com" domain used by
companies doing business on the Internet) drove up equity markets. The
technology-centric NASDAQ Composite Index rose from less than 1,000 in 1995
to a peak of 5,408.60 on March 10, 2000.

SUBPRIME CRISIS
The US subprime crisis is the result of excess credit.
People who couldn't afford them and threw in them a ridiculous amount of
money.
The mortgage sector of investors who were very keen on high yields. what the
crisis brings Low-interest rates, rising house prices, and the other side of
mortgages. Securitization has brought huge profits. Many factors such as laws
like community Reinvestment Laws, Low-Interest Rates, Mortgage Brokers and
Lenders, and Rating Agencies played a role in creating the crisis. His Three Key
Aspects of the Subprime Saga Insufficient regulation of investment banks cites
relaxation of lending standards driven by greed in a regime of unrestricted
competition and asset markets unable to deliver surcharges from the debtor. It
shows once again that the financial sector is unique It can only be interrupted at
the expense of natural, unbridled, unregulated competition. Complete danger.

The U.S dollar was officially crowned the world’s reserve currency and was
backed by the world’s largest gold reserves thanks to the Bretton Woods
Agreement. Instead of gold reserves, other countries accumulated reserves of
U.S. dollars.9 Needing a place to store their dollars, countries began buying
U.S. Treasury securities, which they considered to be a safe store of money.
Greece crisis
The Greek debt crisis originated from heavy government spending and
problems escalated over the years due to a slowdown in global economic
12
growth. When Greece became the 10th member of the European Union (EU)
on Jan. 1, 1981, the country's economy and finances were in good shape, and
by 1999 the country had a respectable a debt-to-GDP ratio of less than 60 and a
budget deficit below 3% of GDP.1 In 2001, Greece joined the Eurozone and
adopted the common euro currency.
The US-China trade war is an ongoing economic conflict between China and
the United States. US President Donald Trump began imposing tariffs and other
trade barriers on China in January 2018 to force changes in what the US calls
"unfair trade practices" and theft of intellectual property. rice field. try to force.
The Trump administration said such practices could contribute to the U.S.-
China trade deficit and force Beijing to transfer U.S. technology to China. The
Chinese government has resisted the Trump administration's nationalist
protectionism in response to US trade actions. After the trade war escalated in
2019, the two sides reached a phase one deal on January 15, 2020, but tensions
remained. At the end of Trump's presidency, it was widely said that the trade
war had largely failed. Investor uncertainty due to the trade war has caused
turmoil in the stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 724 points
(2.9%) after the tariffs were announced amid trade war fears. Companies doing
business with China, such as Caterpillar and Boeing, have been hit hard. On
December 4, 2018, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 600 points on
its worst day in almost a month, partly because of the trade war. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average rose 1,000 points on Dec. 26, even as major indices were
still down more than 10% during the December 2018 trade war, according to
Reuters. On Aug. 14, 2019, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost its 800
points. This is due, in part, to rising trade tensions between the United States
and China. 9 days later in August. On February 23, the Dow Jones Industrial

20221. The growth rate for 2023 is estimated to be 6.06%, a decline from
20221. The World Bank expects India's real GDP to grow at 6.9% in FY23.

Inflation
Annual inflation rate in India slowed sharply to 4.7% in April of 2023, the
lowest since October of 2021, from 5.7% in March, and slightly below forecasts
of 4.8%. Food inflation came in at 3.84%, the lowest since November of 2021,
with a fall in prices for vegetables (-6.5%), oils and fats (-12.3%) and meat (-
1.2%), partially offsetting a rise in cost for cereals (13.7%), milk (8.9%) and
spices (17.4%). Also, cost of sugar and confectionery went up 1.9%. A
slowdown was also seen in cost for fuel and light (5.5% vs 8.9%),

Japan’s IIP
In Japan, the most important categories in the consumer price index are Food
(25 percent of total weight) and Housing (21 percent). Transportation and
communications account for 14 percent; Culture and recreation for 11.5 percent;
Fuel, light, and water charges for 7 percent; Medical care for 4.3 percent;
Clothes and footwear for 4 percent. Furniture and household utensils,
Education, and Miscellaneous goods and services account for the remaining.

The Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly kept its benchmark policy repo at 6.5
percent during its April 2023 meeting after delivering six straight hikes, at odds
with the market projections of a 25-bps rate increase. The body said it was
closely monitoring the impact of recent global financial turbulence. According
to the policymakers, their stance remained focused on the withdrawal of
accommodation, meaning further tightening was not excluded. The pause in rate
hikes was for this meeting only. The RBI has lifted rates by an aggregate of
250bps starting from May 2022, pushing borrowing costs to a level of January
2019. Additionally, the board raised its growth forecast for the fiscal year
beginning in April to 6.5% from 6.4% and lowered its inflation forecast to 5.2%
from 5.3%.
The Bank of Japan maintained its key short-term interest rate at -0.1% and that
of 10-year bond yields at around 0% in April by a unanimous vote but modified
guidance on its policy rate by removing reference toward the need to guard
18
against risks from the COVID pandemic and to keep interest rates at "current or
lower levels". In newly appointed Governor Kazuo Ueda's first meeting, the
board also decided to conduct a broad-perspective review of the monetary path,
with a planned time frame of around 1 to 1-1/2 years, saying its policies "have
interacted with and influenced wide areas of Japan's economy". Meanwhile, in a
quarterly outlook report, the officials cut their 2022 GDP growth forecast to
1.2% from 1.9% in January amid weaker private consumption. For FY 2023, the
bank slashed its GDP outlook to 1.4% from 1.7%. The CPI reading for FY 2022
remained around 3%, while for the following year, it was revised slightly higher
to 1.8% from 1.6%

British era (1793–1947)
Estimated GDP per capita of India and United Kingdom during 1700–1950 in
1990 US$ according to Maddison. However, Maddison's estimates for 18th-
century India have been criticized as gross underestimates, Bairoch estimates
India had a higher GDP per capita in the 18th century, and Parthasarathi's
findings show higher real wages in 18th-century Bengal and Mysore. But there
is consensus that India's per capita GDP and income stagnated during the
colonial era, starting in the late 18th century.
Sectors
Historically, India has classified and tracked its economy and GDP in three
sectors: agriculture, industry, and services. Agriculture includes crops,
horticulture, milk and animal husbandry, aquaculture, fishing, sericulture,
aviculture, forestry, and related activities. Industry includes various
26
manufacturing sub-sectors. India's definition of services includes its
construction, retail, software, IT, communications, hospitality, infrastructure
operations, education, healthcare, banking and insurance, and many other
economic activities.

Foreign Trade
Foreign trade is an exchange of capital, goods, and services across international
borders or territories. In most countries, it represents a significant share of gross
domestic product (GDP). While international trade has been present throughout
much of history, its economic, social, and political importance has been on the
rise in recent centuries.

Sector Analysis
Introduction
The Indian banking sector is a crucial component of the country's financial
system and plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and development.
It encompasses a wide range of financial institutions, including commercial
banks, cooperative banks, regional rural banks, and specialized banks.
The sector is regulated and supervised by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI),
which is the country's central banking authority. The RBI formulates and
implements monetary policy, issues guidelines for banking operations, and
ensures the stability and soundness of the banking system.
Indian banks operate in a highly competitive and dynamic environment. Over
the years, the sector has undergone significant reforms to enhance efficiency,
transparency, and customer service. These reforms have included the
implementation of technology-driven initiatives, such as online banking, mobile
banking, and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which have transformed the
way banking services are delivered in the country.
The Indian banking sector is characterized by a mix of public sector banks
(PSBs), private sector banks, and foreign banks. PSBs are owned and controlled
by the government, while private sector banks are owned by private individuals
or corporations. Foreign banks operate in India through branches or subsidiaries
and bring global expertise and best practices to the Indian market.
In recent years, the banking sector has faced various challenges, including non-
performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans, which have put pressure on banks'
profitability and asset quality. Efforts have been made to address this issue
through mechanisms like the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and
recapitalization of banks.
The Indian banking sector has witnessed a growing focus on financial inclusion
and reaching the unbanked population. Initiatives like Jan Dhan Yojana,
Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) have aimed
to bring more individuals and businesses into the formal banking system.
The sector is also experiencing increasing collaboration between banks and
financial technology (fintech) companies. This partnership has led to the
emergence of innovative products and services, such as digital wallets, peer-to-
peer lending platforms, and robo-advisory services.
32
Overall, the Indian banking sector analysis highlights a sector that is undergoing
rapid transformation, driven by technology adoption, regulatory reforms, and
changing customer expectations. While there are challenges to be addressed, the
sector presents significant opportunities for growth and development in the
Indian economy.
33
Market Size
The Indian banking system consists of 12 public sector banks, 22 private sector
banks, 44 foreign banks, 43 regional rural banks, 1,484 urban cooperative banks
and 96,000 rural cooperative banks in addition to cooperative credit institutions.

1,585.09 billion). As of November 4, 2022, credit to non-food industries stood
at Rs. 128.87 lakh crore (US$ 1.58 trillion).
In 2020-2022, bank assets across sectors increased. Total assets across the
banking sector (including public and private sector banks) increased to US$

1,594.51 billion and US$ 925.05 billion, respectively.

of credit information, accessible to all stakeholders. The Insolvency and
Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Ordinance, 2017 Bill has been passed and is
expected to strengthen the banking sector. Microfinance industry’s gross loan
portfolio (GLP) by 10% in FY22 to Rs. 2.85 trillion (US$ 36.42 billion).
As of June 01, 2022, the number of bank accounts—opened under the
government’s flagship financial inclusion drive ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
Yojana (PMJDY)’—reached 45.60 crore and deposits in the Jan Dhan bank
accounts totalled Rs. 1.68 trillion (US$ 21.56 billion).
Rising income is expected to enhance the need for banking services in rural
areas, and therefore, drive the growth of the sector.
India is the world's largest market for Android-based mobile lending apps,
accounting for ~82% of all online lenders worldwide. India currently has 887
active lending apps.
The digital payments revolution will trigger massive changes in the way credit
is disbursed in India. Debit cards have radically replaced credit cards as the
preferred payment mode in India after demonetisation. In November 2022,
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) recorded 7.30 billion transactions worth Rs.
12.11 trillion (US$ 148.63 billion).

The Indian banking sector has been attracting significant investments and
witnessing several recent developments. Here are some key areas of investment
and recent developments in the Indian banking sector:
Digital Transformation: Indian banks are heavily investing in digital
technologies to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. They
are adopting mobile banking, internet banking, and other digital channels to
provide seamless banking services. Banks are also investing in advanced
analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to improve risk
management, fraud detection, and customer insights.
Fintech Collaboration: Banks are increasingly collaborating with fintech
companies to leverage their innovative solutions and expand their service
offerings. Partnerships with fintech firms are helping banks improve payment
systems, develop new financial products, and enhance the overall banking
experience for customers. Investments and acquisitions in fintech start-ups are
also on the rise.
Expansion of Branch Network: Despite the digital push, Indian banks continue
to expand their branch networks, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. This
expansion aims to reach unbanked populations and provide basic banking
services to underserved areas. The government's financial inclusion initiatives,
such as Jan Dhan Yojana, have also led to the opening of millions of new bank
accounts.
Consolidation and Merger: The Indian government has initiated consolidation in
the public sector banking space to create stronger and more efficient banks.
Several mergers have taken place between public sector banks in recent years,
resulting in the creation of larger entities. This consolidation aims to improve
governance, enhance capital base, and strengthen the banking sector as a whole.
Non-Performing Asset (NPA) Resolution: The Indian banking sector has been
grappling with a high level of NPAs or bad loans. To address this issue, the
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) was introduced, which provides a time-
bound and streamlined process for resolving stressed assets. Banks are actively
working towards resolving NPAs through restructuring, recovery, and
resolution mechanisms.
Regulatory Reforms: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced several
regulatory reforms to strengthen the banking sector. These reforms include
stricter guidelines on capital adequacy, provisioning norms, risk management
practices, and governance standards. The RBI has also taken steps to enhance
customer protection and cybersecurity measures.
36
Foreign Investment: The Indian banking sector continues to attract foreign
direct investment (FDI) and participation from international banks. Foreign
banks are expanding their presence in India through branches or subsidiaries,
contributing to the overall development of the banking sector.

Pestle Analysis of State Bank of India
Political Factors:
Government Influence: SBI is a public sector bank, and its operations are
influenced by government policies, regulations, and priorities. Government
ownership provides stability and support but may also result in bureaucratic
processes and political interference.
Regulatory Framework: SBI operates under the regulatory framework set by the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other government bodies. Changes in
regulations, monetary policies, and compliance requirements can impact SBI's
operations and profitability.
Economic Factors:
Economic Growth: SBI's performance is closely linked to the overall economic
conditions in India. Factors such as GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, and
employment levels can influence the demand for banking services, credit
demand, and the bank's profitability.
Monetary Policy: SBI is affected by the RBI's monetary policy decisions,
including changes in interest rates, reserve requirements, and liquidity
management. These factors impact the cost of funds, lending rates, and the
bank's ability to generate revenue.
Social Factors:
Demographic Trends: SBI's strategies are influenced by the demographics of the
Indian population. Factors such as population size, age distribution,
urbanization, and income levels determine the bank's target market, product
offerings, and customer preferences.
Financial Inclusion: SBI plays a crucial role in promoting financial inclusion in
India. Government initiatives and social factors driving financial literacy,
banking accessibility, and inclusion impact SBI's efforts to reach underserved
and unbanked populations.
Technological Factors:
Digital Transformation: SBI is embracing technology to enhance customer
experience, streamline operations, and offer innovative services. Technological
advancements, including mobile banking, digital payments, cybersecurity, and
40

competitiveness.

Threat of New Entrants:
The banking industry in India has certain barriers to entry, including regulatory
requirements, capital requirements, and the need for an extensive branch
network. SBI, being the largest public sector bank with a strong brand presence
and wide customer base, enjoys a competitive advantage. However, the threat of
new entrants exists, particularly from private sector banks and foreign banks,
which can invest in the Indian market and compete with SBI.
Bargaining Power of Buyers:
In the banking industry, individual customers and businesses have some
bargaining power, particularly due to the availability of multiple banking
options and the ability to switch banks easily. However, SBI's extensive branch
network, wide range of products and services, and government support
contribute to customer loyalty. Moreover, factors such as convenience, trust,
and relationships with customers can reduce their bargaining power.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
Suppliers in the banking industry include technology providers, vendors of
banking equipment, and service providers. SBI, being a large player, has the
advantage of economies of scale and can negotiate favourable terms with
suppliers. Additionally, the banking industry is not heavily dependent on
specific suppliers, reducing the overall bargaining power of suppliers.
Threat of Substitute Products or Services:
The threat of substitutes in the banking industry is moderate. While traditional
banking services like loans, deposits, and payments have limited substitutes,
technological advancements and the rise of fintech companies have introduced
alternative financial services. However, SBI has been adapting to the changing
landscape by offering digital banking solutions, partnering with fintech firms,
and expanding its service offerings to mitigate the threat of substitutes.
Intensity of Competitive Rivalry:
The Indian banking sector is highly competitive, with both public and private
sector banks vying for market share. SBI faces competition from other public
sector banks, private sector banks, and foreign banks. The competition is driven
by factors such as interest rates, product offerings, customer service, and
innovation. However, SBI's market leadership, extensive branch network, and
strong brand presence provide it with a competitive advantage over rivals.
