Risks and concerns

• Bad loans or NPAs are a major concern for the banking sector. The economic slowdown in recent years and rising inflation have seen a rise in NPAs in the sector, leading to losses.
• Adverse conditions like the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and foreign exchange fluctuations increase the risk of investments and market trading for the sector.
• Cyber security risks due to the increase in digital banking operations could lead to online fraud and data theft.
