Muthoot Fincorp Limited NCD Credit challenges:
-
MFL’s ability to access capital also depends on its credit ratings. Any downgrade of the credit ratings would increase borrowing costs and constrain the access to capital and lending markets and, as a result, would negatively affect the net interest margin and the business
-
MFL may not be able to recover the full loan amount, and the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts due under defaulted loans. Failure to recover the value of the collateral could expose the company to a potential loss, thereby adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations.
