RBI Advises Banks to Avoid Loan Price War Amid High Liquidity
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cautioned banks against engaging in a loan price war amid abundant liquidity from foreign currency non-resident (FCNR) deposits. Senior RBI deputy governor Rohit Jain warned that aggressive lending to cover deposit costs could lead to problematic assets in the future. Despite RBI's liquidity absorption measures, some funds are expected to return to the market. Banks have largely invested excess funds in government bonds and with the RBI, awaiting government spending to influence liquidity conditions.
