In News: IES was announced by the government in the Foreign Trade Policy (2015-20), the validity of which was extended by another year recently.

About Interest equalisation scheme (IES) 

  • Interest equalisation scheme (IES) or also known as interest subvention
  • This scheme is typically used to encourage exporters – particularly from the SME sector. 
  • Since the cost of capital can vary across countries. 
  • WTO allows a high interest country to provide some level of help to the exporters who would be competing with their counterparts from low interest countries. 
  • In simple terms, this can be called an export subsidy.

Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES) for pre and post Shipment Rupee Export Credit and its expansion

  • The interest Equalisation Scheme (IES) for pre and post shipment rupee export credit is being implemented by Directorate (DGFT) through commercial banks.The scheme for a period of 5 years (2015-2020).
  • Interest Equalisation rate from 3% to 5% in respect of exports by the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector manufacturers under the Interest Equalisation Scheme on Pre and Post Shipment Rupee Export Credit.

Why does the government reduce interest rates for small savings accounts,PPF etc?

  • Post demonetization fiasco by current government savings interest rates have been constantly in reducing phase ,since people started to use banking services like cards,net banking ,etc ,This resulted in more cash accumulated in the banks ,so banks for sometime have to shun the deposits in order to prevent more cash accumulating into it.
  • Since there is stagnation in the IT sector ,job cuts,unemployment ,inflation is all time high ,real estate markets ,automobile markets are all time low ,The GDP is all time low since the current government came to power. This has resulted in less number of people buying property and automobiles and so are the ones who get loans from the banks .
  • Huge mounting Non Performing assets of the banks in the forms of loan waivers,writing of loans ,bad loans forced the banks to spend less on interest rates
