Japan’s SMFG to buy 74.9% stake in Fullerton India for $2 bln
TOKYO, July 6 (Reuters)
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc (8316.T), Japan’s second-largest lender by assets,
said on Tuesday it would buy a 74.9% stake in Fullerton India for $2 billion, marking the first major foray by a Japanese bank into India during recent times.
Given a slow-growing domestic market, Japanese banks including SMFG
have sought business opportunity outside the country, which faces an ageing and shrinking population.
Fullerton Financial,
parent of the Indian non-bank firm, is a unit of Singapore’s state investment fund Temasek Holdings Pte.It is a central bank-registered shadow lender that offers loans to individuals and small businesses.
“SMFG will gain a retail finance platform in India as it is essential for the expansion of its Asia franchise,”
the Japanese lender said in a statement, adding that it plans to acquire the Indian credit firm from Fullerton Financial at a later stage.
There are an estimated 10,000 shadow lenders in India out of which
the top 100 manage at least 80% of the total assets under management, according to analysts.
Philippine bank
Last month, SMFG agreed to invest about 10 billion yen ($90.26 million) in Philippine bank Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation,Vietnam’s non-bank
and in April SMFG said it would invest up to 150 billion yen in Vietnam’s biggest non-bank lender FE Credit.Reuters
