QIP
SBI Chairman C S Setty has said that Rs 25,000 crore equity capital raised through the qualified institutional placement route earlier this year would support Rs 12 lakh crore credit growth and maintain a capital adequacy ratio of 15 per cent over 5-6 years. On the debt capital side, he said, the bank would mobilise Rs 12,500 crore through bonds as part of a periodic exercise. "Even before this QIP was raised, our ability to fund credit growth has never been a problem. We wanted to strengthen the capital ratios, so we have done that. Our long-term strategy is to maintain CRAR at 15 per cent and Common Equity Tier 1 at 12 per cent," he told PTI in an interview. This kind of Capital to Risk Asset Ratio (CRAR) gives the bank the ability to fund advances over Rs 12 trillion, he said. "With a profit rate what we have today, if the same profitability is maintained for another 5-6 years, we may not require any capital raising, at least on the CET 1 part," he said.
