Allow the money deposited to be withdrawn by cheque or draft. ORIGIN OF WORD BANK: The origin of the word bank is shrouded in mystery. According to one view point the Italian business house carrying on crude from of banking were called banchi bancheri" According to another viewpoint banking is derived from German word "Branck" which mean heap or mound. In England, the issue of paper money by the government was referred to as a raising a bank. ORIGIN OF BANKING: Its origin in the simplest form can be traced to the origin of authentic history. After recognizing the benefit of money as a medium of exchange, the importance of banking was developed as it provides the safer place to store the money. This safe place ultimately evolved in to financial institutions that accepts deposits and make loans i.e., modern commercial banks. 2
Banking is nearly as old as civilization. The history of banking could be said to have started with the appearance of money. The first record of minted metal coins was in Mesopotamia in about 2500B.C. the first European banknotes, which was handwritten appeared in1661, in Sweden. Cheque and printed paper money appeared in the 1700’s and 1800’s, with many banks created to deal with increasing trade. The history of banking in each country runs in lines with the development of trade and industry, and with the level of political confidence and stability. The ancient Romans developed an advanced banking system to serve their vast trade network, which extended throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. Modern banking began in Venice. The word bank comes from the Italian word “ ban co”, meaning bench, because moneylenders worked on benches in market places. The bank of Venice was established in 1171 to help the government raise finance for a war. At the same time, in England merchant started to ask goldsmiths to hold gold and silver in their safes in return for a fee. Receipts given to the Merchant were sometimes used to buy or sell, with the metal itself staying under lock and key. The goldsmith realized that they could lend out some of the gold and silver that they had and charge interest, as not all of the merchants would ask for the gold and silver back at the same time. Eventually, instead of charging the merchants, the goldsmiths paid them to deposit their gold and silver. The bank of England was formed in 1694 to borrow money from the public for the government to finance the war of Augsburg against France. By 1709, goldsmith were using bank of England notes of their own receipts. New technology transformed the banking industry in the 1900’s round the world, banks merged into larger and fewer groups and expanded into other country. 3
With in the group of banks, foreign and private sector banks grew at higher rate than the industry from FY03 to FY08 primarily because of lower base effect and rapid expansion undertaken by these banks. In FY09, overall growth in credit and deposits was led by PSBs. However, growth of private and foreign banks was significantly lower in FY due to their high exposure to stressed sectors and problems at parent level for foreign banks. Unsecured bank credit has risen over the years and stood at 23.3% of bank credit in FY as compared to just 10.9% in FY2000. Lending to sensitive sector has also grown at CAGR of 46.1% from FY05 to FY08. In the backdrop of the economic downturn, we feel that the excellent performance seen in last five years ended FY08 will be difficult to repeat in coming years. We expect that with the downturn in the economy, credit and deposit growth will moderate in coming years. Credit growth will be led by spending on the infrastructure while retail credit will show a moderate growth. Margin pressures due to lag effect of rate cuts between interest rate on deposits and advances, lower treasury gains and core fee income and increasing in provisions for NPAs is likely to put pressure in the bottom line of the banks. Going forward, PSBs’ which are close to the required lower level of government stake and have concentrated presence in particular region are likely to consider its merger with other PSB as an important option if they want to sustain the growth seen in past.
