Nuvama Report: FCNR(B) Liquidity May Pressure Bank Margins, Aid NBFC Funding
A Nuvama report highlights that banks with higher Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) deposit (FCNR(B)) mobilisation may face margin pressure in the second quarter of FY27 due to increased liquidity. This liquidity is currently used to replace bulk deposits and park funds but is expected to support credit growth as it moves into lending. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) could benefit from lower funding costs, cushioning margin impacts amid potential repo-rate hikes. Banks are also preparing for the Expected Credit Loss framework from April 2027, which may raise credit costs and offset some margin gains.
