Reports Highlight Mixed Impact of Rising Interest Rates on NBFCs and Housing Finance Firms
Reports from JM Financial and Jefferies highlight that rising interest rates may increase funding costs for non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), with impacts varying by lender type. While vehicle financiers and microfinance lenders could face profit pressures, housing finance companies may benefit. Loan demand remains strong and asset quality resilient across NBFCs, with some firms expecting continued growth despite potential cost increases from rate hikes. Strategies like loan repricing may help mitigate funding cost rises.
