🍒   Govt panel may ready new list of public sector banks for privatisation : The government may set up a panel to draw up a fresh list of public sector banks that can be privatised, people aware of deliberations said. The Centre wants to revisit its bank privatisation strategy after state-owned lenders turned profitable and several rounds of consolidation have reduced their number. In April 2021, Niti Aayog recommended the privatisation of two state-run banks to the disinvestment department. The Central Bank of India and the Indian Overseas Bank were reportedly shortlisted, but no final decision was taken. "A new committee may be set up to identify lenders for privatisation, which include mid- and small-sized banks, and determine the quantum of the stake sale based on their performance, including their bad loan portfolio among other parameters," a government official said. - economic times 🍒   Bank of Baroda posts highest quarterly net profit at ₹4,775 crore : Bank...

🍒   Canara Bank to spin off its credit card vertical into a separate subsidiary : State-owned Canara Bank is set to spin off its credit card vertical into a separate subsidiary while it has started preparing a roadmap for listing of its life insurance and fund management businesses, managing director K Satyanarayana Raju told ET.

🍒    Banks have to be conscious of co lending risks: SBI MD : Banks have to be conscious about the underwriting standards of non banking finance companies (NBFCs) with whom they have co lending partnerships because it could create problems in the future, State Bank of India (SBI) managing director (MD) Challa Sreenivasulu Setty said.
