The outlook on the Indian banking System for next 12 to 18 months  remains 
negative  due to challenging operating environment which is likely to pressure 
bank's profits.
" This environment is characterised by slow economic growth,high inflation,high
    interest rates and a weak local currency" says Vineet Gupta,Vice President and 
   Senior Analyst Moody's." We expect these factors to lead to further deterioration
   of asset quality,an increase in provisioning costs and a fall in profitability" he added.
