Banking sector plays a key role in the development of the economy and GDP growth. Indian banking sector has emerged robust in the last few years with a healthy capital ratio and the sector has been able to resolve the non-performing asset (NPA) issue and most of the banks have reported impressive results in the last few years. Banks and the financial sector will continue to play a pivotal role as Indian economy emerges from the developing stage to a developed economy. Digitisation and technological changes that are being introduced through fintechs will further consolidate the role of banks in the overall growth of the economy.
Mirae Asset Nifty Bank ETF will offer an opportunity to the investors to participate in the evolving banking sector in India. This will also offer easy liquidity.
Commenting on this, Siddharth Srivastava, Head – ETF Product, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund said, “Banking sector as a whole has been reporting very healthy growth in the last 4-5 years with most of the banks leaving their Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) issue behind. The fintech revolution will further assist the growth of the banking sector as banks partner with fintechs to find more synergy. With economy slated to register close to 7 per cent annual growth, the Indian banking sector is all poised to record substantial growth in the coming years”.
