Strong bank loan growth in FY23 despite higher interest rates: Fitch

Fitch Ratings on Monday said India's bank credit will see strong growth in current financial year despite effects of higher interest rates. It said the strong loan growth should benefit net revenue, particularly as it will be coupled with wider net interest margins. "We see bank credit expanding by around 13 per cent in FY23, up from 11.5 per cent in FY22. The acceleration will be driven by the normalisation of economic activity after the COVID-19 pandemic, and high nominal GDP growth, which we expect to boost demand for retail and working-capital loans," Fitch said in a statement. Fitch forecasts India's real GDP growth at 7 per cent in 2022-23. It said Indian banks generally remain open to additional capital-raising to fund growth, despite the rise in rates. "Private banks are generally better than state banks at capital planning, although moves to raise fresh equity are likely to be opportunistic and incremental," Fitch added. The rating agency expects greater competition for .
