Credit growth to moderate, lending rates to move up: SBI chairman

The Reserve Bank of India’s decision to move risk weights for unsecured loans from 100 percent to 125 percent will see a moderation in credit growth and an increase in the cost of capital. Clarity is expected to come only in the next quarter as the new regulations kick in then. Lending rates could rise by 50-60 bps. Expect lenders to also shift some money to other lending areas away from unsecured loans.

Sebi board to discuss regulation of realty platforms

Fractional ownership platforms have mushroomed in the last two to three years, and Sebi believes that these ownership pools comprise unlisted securities that make them ripe for regulation. The board is also likely to discuss delisting rules.
