FICCI-IBA Survey Shows Optimism in Credit Growth Amid Geopolitical and Supply Chain Concerns
A recent FICCI-IBA Bankers' Survey reveals strong optimism in India's banking sector, with private banks expecting mid-teen credit growth driven by retail, SME, industrial, and services demand. Public sector banks share a positive outlook but express greater concern over geopolitical risks and supply-chain disruptions, which are seen as major barriers to private sector capital expenditure revival. Despite these challenges, industrial credit growth above 9% is anticipated, supported by improving economic indicators like GDP growth and investment activity.
