USD 136 Billion Inflows Ease Indian Banks' Funding Constraints, Kotak Reports
Banks in India have seen eased funding constraints due to USD 136 billion inflows via FCNR, ECB, and OFCB, improving deposit availability and lowering funding costs, according to Kotak Institutional Equities. These high-quality deposits may pressure net interest margins by 10-30 basis points short-term but offer banks flexibility in funding management. The inflows support potential faster net interest income growth, with banks expected to deploy funds through loan growth, short-term investments, or retiring costly borrowings.
