SBI Chairman: Deposit Rates Unlikely to Rise for Three Months
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
State Bank of India Chairman C S Setty stated that deposit rates are unlikely to increase for up to three months because of sufficient liquidity in the system. He added that the central bank's shift toward tightening rates could help banks expand their net interest margins for up to three quarters. Setty also noted that SBI expects to sustain its loan book expansion at a rate of 14-15 per cent.
Why it matters
The comments suggest that while liquidity is currently high, the banking sector may face pressure to raise deposit rates if credit growth continues at elevated levels. The expected expansion of net interest margins for banks is tied to the central bank's policy shift toward rate tightening.
