Bank Margins Expected to Improve from Q3 as Lending Rates Rise: IIFL Report
Bank margins are projected to improve from the third quarter of FY27 as fresh lending rates have risen across most loan segments, according to an IIFL Capital report. While margins may remain pressured in the near term due to FCNR deposits, lending spreads have gradually expanded, especially for private banks. Credit growth remains strong, with system loans increasing year-on-year and quarter-to-date, led by sectors like gold, NBFC, MSME, and vehicle loans. The loan-to-deposit ratio has eased to around 81 percent.
