Performance of the Corporate Finance


sector in India

The pattern of corporate financing in India has been different throughout its economic
history. The outline of corporate financing in India has been determined by the economic rules
and regulations that operate at different points of time.
During the 30-year period in Indian economy ranging from 1960 to 1990 the stress of Indian
economy was on public finance. There were a lot of rules and regulations regarding various
economic issues like rates of interest and many more. During the middle part of the decade of
80s there was some change in the Indian economic scenario. The performance of the capital
markets in India improved.
After 1992 a lot of reforms have been made in the capital markets of India. The performance
of the stock markets of India was remarkable in the 1990s. This was keeping with the healthy
state of the Indian economy in and around that time.
All this altered the trend of corporate financing in India. The dependency on banks for loans
or other financial assistance reduced to a significant extent. The equity capital that was gained
from the capital markets came up as a suitable alternative for them.

The banking sector of India has played an important role in the context of the development of
Indian economy. The banks of India have been doing well with the distribution of funds and
monetary resources for the purpose of the development of India's economy.

Porters 5 forces of competition

Bargaining Power of Customers


The German banking sector is developing from a seller's to a buyer's market. The highly
fragmented banking sector leads to strong competition between institutions. Market
transparency is greatly increased by the Internet. The increased confidence of customers and
their improved knowledge about the products and services strengthen the position of
customers.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
Depositors are also capital supplier of bank, they will compare with other financial product to
see whether they can draw out capital or not. A far greater bargaining power has some
effects to the employees of banks and suppliers in the field of information and
communication technology
Threat of New Competitors
A particular threat especially in the German banking market are the banks and the online
discount brokers, passing through favorable terms due to leaner structures, highly
standardized products and lack of consulting services in the market and are a competition
with the established banks.

Rivalry Among Existing Firms


In banking market, it often experiences exit barriers due to sunk costs. Moreover,
especially in Germany, there is strong competition for the rigid banking market, and
facing the entry of other competitors from other European countries. Important
action parameter of competition are price, quality and innovation, which are used to
distinguish the competitor's products and offer added value to the customers.
Threat from substitute products
The simpler the product, the higher the threat of substitute products. In the banking
industry: risk substitution by plant products of insurance companies, corporate
loans, which are taken directly from the capital market funds and certificates by
specialized companies. Largest threat of substitution are not from rival banks but
from non-financial competitors, investors, and small co-operative banks and
borrowing avenues. No real threat of substitute as far as deposits or withdrawals,
however insurances, mutual funds, and fixed income securities offered by nonbanking companies.
