Banks are bracing for a bad third quarter as they are forced to focus their resources on managing the impact of government’s demonetisation, according to Suresh Ganapathy, Banking Analyst, Macquarie Capital Securities. Banks’ priority to ease the pain of the common man is likely to dent the prospects of launching new products, he said.
He cautioned that a larger impact of demonetization is on non-housing finance segments like CV financing, gold financing and micro finance companies. Such companies may have to rejig their business models to blend into cashless economy, he said.
