In his first speech since resigning as RBI governor last December, Urjit Patel has blamed his predecessors at the central bank for not taking away the “punch-bowl” from the “credit binge party”. He has also accused various governments of using public sector banks (PSBs) to pumpprime the economy and shunning reforms.
In a presentation, Patel has highlighted how the bad loans figure in India is among the highest in major economies and much-needed reform still evades PSBs, which account for most of the mess.
