State Bank of India (SBI) expects its earnings growth in the second quarter of this fiscal (FY 10) to be at around 30-35 per cent, its Chairman, O P Bhatt, said.

"We expect a growth of 30-35 per cent year-on-year in our earnings in the second quarter," Bhatt said on the sidelines of a FICCI-IBA seminar here today.

The bank did not expect any mark-to-market losses in its treasury segment in the second quarter, he added.

The country's largest lender has also seen a very healthy growth in its retail loans in the second quarter, almost twice as high as compared to the year-ago period, Bhatt said.
