Utilising MSMEs as engines for growth
The HinduRecent growth data for India reveals that there has been a significant slowdown in the industrial growth rate, especially manufacturing, in the first quarter, April-June, 2015. As money lenders continue to play an important role in India, it is worth considering whether money lenders could be brought under regulation now, given technological progress, as achieved in the case of Japan, and an interest cap be imposed for lending to MSMEs. Illustratively, weighted average lending rate of commercial banks, as reported in the RBI’s latest AR, is the highest for MSMEs when compared with loans extended to agriculture, large industry and infrastructure. Therefore, the role of financial education is very important for MSMEs in assessing appropriate start-up finance and in empowering them to use financial products and services to manage risks and other business needs. These skills would include standardising simple format for accounting purposes for MSMEs, competent development of human resources, cultivating business ethics and standards, and also imparting training to MSMEs which are being served by the bankers.
