The robust economic growth coupled with low oil prices will make India's automobile asset based securities (ABS) or vehicle loans stable, Moody's Investors Service said today (28 November). According to Moody's, the country's securitisation markets will perform in a stable manner with good credit quality across most asset classes. Moody's also expects new Indian auto ABS issued in 2017 to have good credit characteristics.
"In India, robust growth and low oil prices will underpin stable auto ABS performance, despite the economic disruption from the country's demonetisation," said Yian Ning Loh, a Moody's senior vice president. Moody's conclusions are contained in its just-released 2017 outlook for the sector, titled "Structured Finance - India, Korea and Singapore: 2017 Outlook - Performance Stable, Credit Quality Good Across Most Asset Classes".

Moody's expects the performance of Indian commercial vehicle (CV) loans backing auto ABS transactions to remain stable. Delinquency rates will increase somewhat in the very short term owing to the Indian government's decision to withdraw Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. However, delinquencies should return to their current levels over the course of 2017, owing to robust economic growth and low oil prices. Residential mortgage performance should also remain strong in 2017, with low delinquencies reflecting low interest rates, steady house prices and stable prepayment rates.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
