Sanjay Nayar, Citibank's CEO for India and South Asia anticipate the uncertainty to prevail for sometime.

"We have to shift our deposit and asset profiles to address the crisis. We have to tackle the assets-liability mismatch, and avoid mis-pricing of credit-related risks. We need long-term structural liquidity for which capitalization of banks is essential," he said.

"There is need for a short-term foreign currency market, and the government may need to re-capitalize the banks. Significant export and domestic demand will, however, drive India's growth," Nayar added.
