Muthoot Fincorp positive of growth despite tight norms for NBFCs

Rupee Times
28 May 2012

Mr. Thomas J. Muthoot, Chairman and MD of Muthoot Fincorp, one of the top players in gold loan market is positive about the business. Mr. Muthoot believes despite the liquidity crunches, and regulatory and monetary pressures, the Keralite firm will find its way out.

The above inputs came after Mr. Muthoot was giving updates post the RBI's tightening the loan-to-value (LTV), which has resulted in a decline in loan volumes for NBFCs. The central bank also limited the access of the gold loan firms to bank funds.

The company follows the 60% LTV norm and plans to reduce its capital adequacy from 15% to 12% by FY 14.

"The LTV offered by banks may now be comparatively higher than that of NBFCs. But procedural delays associated with the latter are a deterrent for small borrowers. Given that most customers look at quick and easy disbursals as an important criterion, customers are attracted to us," Mr. Muthoot said.

He also added that the RBI's intervention would bring discipline in the industry. The 60% LTV and capital adequacy of 12% would benefit well managed long running company and also prevent undue competition brought in by new entrants.

The gold loans demand has gone up, despite the rising prices, and this keeps the company positive about the future. The company understands the importance of customer service. Since it will help them to retain and add new customers. Better accessibility also made customers reach the company easily, Mr. Muthoot added.

Kerala promises help to MFIs

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, MAY 25:
The Minister for Rural Development, Mr K.C. Joseph, inaugurated the one-day workshop on 'Achieving inclusive growth - Role of MFIs' on Friday.

In the inaugural address, he promised all help to MFIs provided they go by the rule of the game, and conduct themselves in a transparent and accountable manner.

MFIs can go a long way to fill the gap left by banks in the social sector. The Minister said that the government was committed to grant benefits to all players on a part with the flagship Kudumbashree poverty alleviation programme.

Mr M.M. Hassan, a former minister who spearheads the Janasree mission, was of the view that MFIs must not work with a profit motive.

Banks must reduce interest rates for loans advanced to MFIs, he said. He also suggested that the government extend an 'organisational grant' along the lines of 'organisational expenses' to cooperative societies.

The event was organised by Assocham, Bengaluru, and sponsored by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), Muthoot Fincorp and Kamfi.

Will gold shine in 2012 too?

2 January 2012

Gold's spectacular sprint has been cut short by a speed bump in the past few weeks. From an all-time high of over $1,900 an ounce ( 35,332 per 10 gm at $1: 52.72) in September, the price of the precious metal fell to under $1,590 an ounce ( 29,520 per 10 gm) in mid-December. The question worrying investors now is whether this obstacle will lead gold prices to trip and fall, or will they touch even higher peaks?

Investors vouch for State says Thomas George Muthoot on livemint.com

29 November 2011

Kerala has the attributes that could have turned it into an economic powerhouse, but some of those very characteristics have scuttled its aspirations.

At best, the state has earned a reputation as one of the biggest suppliers of manpower for the rest of India, West Asia and elsewhere, as most young people are unable to find local jobs that are good enough. Industry has fled the state, driven away by an aggressive labour regime that businessmen complain is extortionate, making the economic system dependent on remittances that have had a skewed effect on development.
