Addressing the Public Sector Banks (PSB) Conclave 2026, Sitharaman said the government would soon announce a high-powered committee on public sector bank reforms, with the recommendations and outcomes of the two-day conference to be placed before the panel. The Finance Minister said the committee would examine the recommendations emerging from the conclave and submit its suggestions, with bankers expected to play a key role in shaping the banking framework needed to support India's growth ambitions for 2047. ‹› Sitharaman highlighted that non-performing assets (NPAs) of banks are at their lowest level ever, providing a stronger foundation for the banking sector to undertake further reforms and support economic growth. Stressing the significance of the conclave, Sitharaman said, "We are in 2026, so less than or short of 20 years is what we have before us."

Sitharaman said the DFS, for the first time during her tenure, had prepared detailed research documents on all seven themes selected for discussion at the meeting. She singled out the document on youth as particularly striking, noting that it analyses India's young population across different age groups and life stages. The Finance Minister pointed out that nearly 29 per cent of India's population falls in the 15-29 age group, and said banks must factor this demographic profile into their planning and strategy.
