Public Sector Banks Increase Borrowings Amid Slower Deposit Growth Compared to Private Banks
Public sector banks in India are increasingly relying on borrowings to fund credit growth as their deposit growth lags behind private banks. In the June quarter, PSB borrowings rose nearly 29% year-on-year, while private banks' borrowings grew about 3%. Private banks also expanded deposits by 14.3%, outpacing the 10.7% growth of PSBs, raising concerns about the sustainability of state-owned banks' funding. Currently, abundant system liquidity and lower wholesale funding rates mitigate the impact of these shifts.
