thebalanced.newsIndia's Gold Loan Market Shows Growth Potential Amid Rising Prices, Says Muthoot Finance
George Alexander Muthoot, managing director of Muthoot Finance, highlights the significant potential of India's gold loan market, citing substantial idle gold metal. He notes that rising gold prices over the past two years have increased borrowing power for gold pledgers, despite recent minor price corrections. The loan-to-value ratio is set at 75%, but effectively decreases as gold prices rise, providing a cushion that mitigates the impact of price fluctuations and maintains market stability.
