Bank Credit Growth Expected to Moderate as Corporates Shift to Bonds and Overseas Borrowings
Bank credit growth in India is projected to moderate gradually in fiscal year 2027 as large corporations increasingly prefer domestic bond markets and overseas borrowings for funding. This shift is supported by the Reserve Bank of India's recent policy measures, including incentives for FCNR(B) deposits and a forex swap facility that lowers hedging costs for eligible External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs). While overall credit demand remains healthy, banks are expected to finance a smaller share of corporate borrowing as market-based sources become more attractive.
