The Banking sector in the country is now trapped into “loan terms” as banks take short-term deposits from clients, but provide long-term loan to industries, speakers said on Saturday. They said the loan term gaps in Banks have led to a substantial amount of non-performing loans, liquidity crisis and higher interest rate, which are inter-linked, standing in the way of a healthy Banking sector. They also said the country needs to develop and strengthen sources of long term financing other than Banks to facilitate sustainable funds for robust industrialisation. To do so, they said the policy makers should focus on strengthening the capital market, setting up robust bond market and developing financial institutions that can provide long-term financing to industries.
