State Bank of India (SBI) Chairman O P Bhatt had told reporters on 29 March 2009, that SBI's credit growth in January-March 2009 quarter was lower than expected. He added that there should be some downward revision in lending as well as deposit rates in the new financial year. The Asset-Liability Committee of SBI, Bhat said, would take a call on interest rates as and when required.
Bhatt also said there was enough liquidity though there was a significant pressure on interest margins. SBI had ample liquidity and did not plan to go in for further capital raising. The bank in fact recorded Rs 1,000-crore deposit everyday in October-November 2008, Bhat said.
SBI has 43% market share and the market capitalisation of the bank was more than that of Citibank, he said.
