ICICI Securities Projects Growth in Bank Earnings Supported by FCNR Deposits and Credit Demand
Indian banks are expected to see improved net interest income and earnings growth in FY27, driven by strong foreign currency non-resident (FCNR) deposit inflows, healthy credit demand, and stable asset quality, according to ICICI Securities. Systemic credit growth is projected at around 15% year-on-year, with notable increases in NBFC lending, large industry loans, and retail gold loans. Deposit growth has also strengthened, supported by FCNR(B) mobilization reaching USD 52 billion by mid-August. Both public and private sector banks are anticipated to experience favorable credit growth.
