XV We can observe the credit to non-financial sectors in emergingmarkets falling below the average trend line of last five years. Among developing markets wide variations are evident, with one end of the spectrum experiencing credit contraction as in Brazil on account of deleveraging of subsidized credit, high intermediation margins and weak demand. In some other EMEs such as Russia and India, elevated loan delinquencies operated as a drag on credit growth, whereas in China, policy- induced rebalancing, regulatory tightening and deleveraging efforts are acting as inhibiting factors. With growth slowdown that began in 2018, credit growth, has slowed down across major economies, which, in turn, has adversely affected bank profitability. Despite distinct improvement in asset quality, structural weaknesses remain in the banking systems in various economies across the world, although capital position has been strengthened.
