Theme of the Workshop
Modern banking in India has traversed a long way since independence. Globalisation of Indian economy has created an environment where the financial services system has to be cost effective, customer oriented and technology based. Banking sector has been undergoing drastic metamorphosis where the need for a stable, efficient, resilient and vibrant banking system has come to occupy the centre stage. The enhanced and increasing levels of deregulation, stiff competition and the technology revolution have placed numerous demands on the banks.
The banking sector reforms aim at enhancing the productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of the banking industry. In addition to the traditional services, to meet the varied financial needs, banks have to offer a wider and flexible range of financial products tailored for all types of customers in a most efficient manner in term of cost, time and convenience.
According to IBA-FICCI-BCG report, India’s Gross Domestic Product growth will make the Indian banking industry the third largest in the world by 2025
