Fund Review: SBI Large & Midcap Fund
State Bank of India Chairman C S Setty on Thursday said he does not see deposit rate hike for up to three months because of the excess liquidity in the system. Speaking a day after the RBI's policy announcement, Setty said the shift to tightening of rates by the central bank will help banks expand their net interest margins (NIMs) for up to three quarters. "I believe that next two-three months, there may not be any rate action on the deposits because we have sufficient liquidity in the system," Setty told reporters here. He, however, added that if the credit growth continues at the ongoing elevated levels, some banks may have to look at raising deposit rates to fund the advances. Setty also acknowledged that depositors need to be compensated with some level of positive real interest rate in a scenario where inflation is inching up.

Talking to PTI in an interview, Setty said the bank's focus over the past two years has been on strengthening its capital base, deepening its role in the financial sector and building a more digital, customer-centric banking model. Looking back at his tenure, Setty said several of the most visible objectives his team set had been achieved, including capital augmentation, the listing of SBI Mutual Fund and the bank's strategic role in addressing the Yes Bank issue. "These are the most visible outcomes of my tenure," said Setty, who completed his two years as the bank's chairman last month. However, he said the more consequential changes were taking place beneath the surface and would strengthen both SBI and the wider banking industry over the longer term. At the heart of this transformation, he said

Cash-flow-based lending will become increasingly important for financing new-age industries like data centres, solar manufacturing and technology-driven businesses, a senior bank official said on Friday. Banks need to develop new lending models, as emerging businesses may not have the traditional collateral required for bank finance, the official added. "Unless banks are able to find ways to fund these kinds of new businesses, whether it is pharma or technology, new technology...tangible security per se, the banks necessarily need to move from just collateral of security," Ashwini Kumar Tewari, Managing Director at State Bank of India, said at a financial market conclave hosted here by BCC&I.
