The State Bank of India (SBI) $SBIN.NS, the largest lender in the country, has announced plans to raise new capital through stock issuance during this financial year. This initiative follows similar moves by several private banks that are striving to strengthen their financial standing. This article will explore the reasons behind this decision, its potential consequences, and the overall market situation.

South Korea’s financial regulator has tightened its oversight of Hanwha Aerospace’s $012450.KS latest capital raising endeavors, signaling a new era of scrutiny for one of the nation’s largest defense contractors. For the second time, the company’s stock issuance plan has been rejected, even after Hanwha scaled back its fundraising target to 2.3 trillion won ($1.62 billion). This move underscores the growing emphasis on transparency and robust information disclosure in Korea’s financial markets.
