India’s banking segment has witnessed renewed interest in recent times, on the back of its long-term growth prospects and economic resilience.
Analysts are upbeat about the prospects of more such deals. “Definitely, more smaller and mid-sized banks are up (for such deals). In fact, any organization which requires a confidence capital desperately needs to do this in our view,” Suresh Ganapathy, managing director and head of financial services research, Macquarie Capital said in a note to clients after the Federal Bank stake sale was announced.
