Money & Banking - Interest Rates
SBH not to cut interest rates

Our Bureau

Hyderabad, Jan. 29 State Bank of Hyderabad has no plans to cut interest rates in the aftermath of Credit Policy review by the Reserve Bank of India, according to Mr Amitabha Guha, Managing Director of the bank.

“We expected a rate cut of at least 25 basis points by the RBI. There would be no major implications for banks in the policy review.

“The status quo maintained by the central bank in the Credit Policy would not allow any rate cut,” Mr Guha told Business Line here.

On the RBI’s advice to monitor unhedged exposure to foreign currency, Mr Guha said it had already been followed.

Andhra Bank to wait-and-see

Andhra Bank would adopt ‘a wait-and-see’ approach on interest rate reduction.

“A 25 basis point reduction in rates on deposits and advances may be given a thought.

With the fourth quarter in full heat now, it may need some thinking due to profitability aspects.

Andhra Bank will wait for some time before taking a step,” Mr K. Ramakrishnan, Chairman and Managing Director, Andhra Bank, said.
