The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently released the Financial Stability Report for June 2025.

About Financial Stability Report 

  • It is a biannual report released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
  • It reflects the collective assessment of the Sub-Committee of the Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC) on the resilience of the Indian financial system and risks to financial stability.

Highlights of Financial Stability Report for June 2025

  • The Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth on the back of sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent policies.
  • The headwinds from protracted geopolitical tensions, elevated uncertainty and trade disruptions, and weather-related uncertainty pose downside risks to growth.
  • The non-performing loans ratio is currently at a multi-decadal low, and the economy and financial system are relatively well positioned to bear the tariff-induced shocks.
  • The report said that the gross non-performing asset (GNPA), which is currently as of March 2025 at 2.3% levels, in the baseline scenario, could increase to 2.5% level.
  • GNPAs for 46 banks accounting for 98 percent of the total assets of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs), may rise to 2.6 percent by March 2027.
  • Capital adequacy across the banking sector remains well above regulatory thresholds, giving banks sufficient buffers to withstand adverse scenarios. 
  • Even under severe stress test conditions, the capital adequacy ratios of banks would stay comfortably above minimum requirements, a strong signal of the sector’s preparedness to absorb economic shocks.
  • India's growth is largely dependent on domestic demand, and the outlook for food inflation remains favorable as the prices have started to soften and the crop production is at a record level.
  • On the domestic front, the financial system remains stable, with healthy balance sheets of both banks and non-banking financial institutions.
  • NBFCs remain healthy with good capital buffers, robust earnings, and improving asset quality.
