What is Double Financial Repression?
In simple terms, financial repression means that savers are not adequately compensated for their savings.
Double financial repression was pointed out in Economic Survey of FY15 by economist Arvind Subramanian. It referred to a phenomenon where the Indian banks suffered financial repression both on the assets and liabilities side.
- Financial repression on the asset side of the balance sheet is created by the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) requirement that forces banks to hold government securities (at 18.75% of net demand and term liability as of July 2019), and priority sector lending (40% of Adjusted net credit) that forces resource deployment in less-than-fully efficient ways. On top of these policy-related aspects, the Indian banks are also now suffering financial repression on account of mounting NPA stress.
- Financial repression on the liability (i.e. deposits) side arises from high inflation. Higher inflation leads to a decline in the deposits with banks on account of a sharp reduction in households’ financial savings led by higher expenditure due to inflation and also due to low or negative real interest rates.
Double financial repression is dangerous as it lowers the returns for the banks, thereby lowering the returns for the ultimate depositors (i.e. the public who provide their savings to the banking system).
In the current scenario, the financial repression on liabilities side is lower (as inflation is largely in check) while that on the assets side is more which has been further worsening due to the NPA mess of the banking system. As such, lowering of the SLR requirement can be one of the welcome policy measures to address the financial repression on the assets side, to some extent.
