Shares of Yes Bank have been on a roll recently, surging 38.59% in four trading days from a recent low of Rs 281.15 on 13 September 2013. The rally caught momentum after Yes Bank during market hours on Tuesday, 17 September 2013, said it successfully closed equivalent to $255 million by way of dual currency, multi-tenor syndicated loan facility which will be utilised for general corporate purposes and trade finance. The facility has a maturity of 1 and 2 years with majority commitments coming in the 2 year tenure bucket. The loan has been widely distributed with commitments from 11 banks representing 8 countries across US, Europe, Middle East and Australia, Yes Bank said.

On the successful completion of the transaction, Mr. Rana Kapoor, Managing Director and CEO, Yes Bank said: "This significant commitment from global banks reinforces our unique financial and business model, and further reposes faith and trust in the Yes Bank management team, despite the challenging global and Indian micro environment."

The recent Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines on offering swap facility to banks for the foreign currency borrowings at 100 basis points below the market rate will further make the landed rupee cost of these funds extremely competitive vis-vis rupee funds of equivalent maturity, Yes Bank said.

Yes Bank had announced hike in its base rate by 0.25% to 10.75% effective 1 August 2013.

Yes Bank's net profit surged 38.2% to Rs 400.84 crore on 30.6% growth in total income to Rs 2839.97 crore in Q1 June 2013 over Q1 June 2012.
