Money & Banking - Monetary Policy
`No major impact likely'

Hyderabad, Oct. 30

The Credit Policy announced by the Reserve Bank of India largely reflects a status quo in regulatory framework, according to Mr Amitabha Guha, Managing Director, State Bank of Hyderabad. "To sum up, nothing dramatic has happened. There would be no major adverse impact on anything," Mr Guha told Business Line here.

On the 50 basis points hike in CRR, he said it should be seen in the context of current liquidity scenario. "We expected the CRR hike to be between 25 and 50 basis points. The revenues and profitability of banks would be marginally impacted by the hike," he pointed out. Approximately, the banking industry would have to move Rs 14,000 crore to the apex bank as a result of CRR hike, he added. The other aspects of the policy such as GDP growth forecast at 8.5 per cent and targets on inflation front were "realistic", he said. - Our Bureau
