Banks see deposits rise for the third consecutive fortnight since mid-October

New Indian Express  

MUMBAI: Indian banks' intense efforts to mop up deposits have finally begun to pay off, with liabilities growing faster than assets for the third consecutive fortnight. It marks the first time in 30 months that this has happened, following a period of aggressive deposit collection by lenders since the credit-deposit growth mismatch began in the fortnight ending March 25, 2022. According to the latest RBI data, for the fortnight to November 15, deposit growth marginally outpaced credit uptick at 11.21 percent. Credit growth had been exceeding deposit growth since the fortnight ending March 25, 2022, leading to a widening gap that reached as much as 700 basis points at its peak in the middle of 2023. It was in the fortnight ending October 18, after 30 months, that deposit growth of 11.7 percent outpaced credit growth of 11.5 percent, possibly signalling the beginning of a period where the liabilities side will keep pace with the asset side of lenders.
