SBI Maintains FY27 Credit Growth and Margin Targets, Expects Uptick in Deposits
State Bank of India (SBI) expects deposit growth to rise in the second quarter of FY2026-27, driven by foreign currency non-resident (FCNR) deposits, aiming for an overall 10-11% deposit increase. The bank maintains its credit growth guidance at 14-15%, aligned with nominal GDP projections, and a net interest margin target of 3% for the year. SBI anticipates mobilizing around $10 billion in foreign currency deposits and reports no current asset quality concerns related to El Nino conditions.
