      Question

      What does a higher Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR)

      directly indicate about a commercial banking institution?
      A The bank is suffering from rapid capital erosion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The bank has a higher buffer or financial resilience to absorb future loan defaults. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The bank's volume of gross NPAs is drastically increasing. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The bank is expanding its unsecured retail loan portfolio. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The bank is experiencing a sharp decline in its net interest margin. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR) measures the percentage of provisions held against gross NPAs. A higher ratio indicates that the bank has built a solid financial cushion to absorb potential shocks arising from bad loans.
