Bank Credit Growth Rises to 19% as Deposits Increase to 18%, Jefferies Reports
Bank credit growth in India accelerated to 19% year-on-year by August 31, with deposit growth rising to 18%, according to Jefferies' India Financial Daily report. Loan and investment growth combined reached 16%, while the credit-to-deposit ratio stood at about 80%. The report noted improved liquidity conditions, with surplus liquidity around Rs 5 trillion as of September 21. Although credit growth has strengthened recently, Jefferies suggested a possible moderation ahead amid ongoing deposit mobilisation and funding changes.
