Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Managing Director, JM Financial Group, said,

“The tightness in liquidity for our NBFC businesses, volatility in the capital markets, extraordinary widening of credit spreads of AA rated entities over AAA rated entities and steep decline in deal closures in the investment banking have contributed to making the third quarter a challenging one. We continue to monitor the liquidity scenario and will remain prudent in our business planning over the next few quarters. At the same time we are hopeful about gradual improvement in credit spreads towards AA rated NBFCs and general liquidity position of NBFCs over calendar year 2019.”
