Rupee may depreciate 8-10% against dollar during Trump 2.0, says SBI report

The rupee may depreciate 8-10 per cent against the US dollar during the Trump 2.0 regime, said a SBI research report, even as the local currency hit its all-time low on Monday. The report, titled US Presidential Election 2024: How Trump 2.0 Impacts India's and Global Economy, emphasised that the rupee can have a brief spell of depreciation against the US dollar, followed by appreciation. Donald J Trump's historical comeback as the 47th President of the United States adds a morphine shot to the markets and select asset classes even as the focus is now shifting to wider economic ramifications and supply chain realignments, the report said. "Trump's victory introduces a mix of challenges and opportunities for India. While the potential for increased tariffs, H-1B restrictions, and a strong dollar could bring short-term volatility...But it also presents India with long-term incentives to expand its manufacturing, diversify export markets, and enhance economic self-reliance," it added.

Biz as usual in Canada despite tensions between New Delhi, Ottawa: SBI

State Bank of India (SBI) has not seen any impact in Canada despite the ongoing tensions between New Delhi and Ottawa, a top bank official has said. The Indian government-run lender, which has been present in Canada since 1982, is considered as a "local bank" by all stakeholders in the North American country, its chairman C S Setty said. "We have not seen any change in approach either among the regulators or the customers, it is business as usual," Setty told PTI. SBI operates eight branches through a wholly owned subsidiary in Canada, including in Toronto, Brampton, and Vancouver. "I think we are considered as one of the local banks there -- our engagement in business, banking business is with the local environment there," he said. India-Canada relationship has been frosty for over a year now, ever since the North American country accused India of plotting assassinations of its citizens and the relationship hit a new low last month with the expulsion of diplomats. Meanwhile, Set

SBI economists see Q2 GDP growth slowing down to 6.5% this fiscal

Economists at the country's largest lender SBI on Wednesday said they see Q2 real GDP growth slowing down further to 6.5 per cent in the September quarter of this fiscal year. Amid concerns over the country's economic growth rate and if it is slowing down, the analysts said they expect FY25 growth to come "closer to" 7 per cent. It can be noted that the April-June period saw the real GDP expanding by 6.7 per cent, the lowest in 15 quarters. This led to a slew of analysts revising their expectations on growth to below 7 per cent for the fiscal and some also wonder if India is in a cyclical growth slowdown. "There is some incipient pressure evident on the domestic economy. Basis our analysis of 50 meaningful leading indicators (both consumption as also demand centric), a dip looks plausible across select cohorts of agri, industry and services in Q2," the SBI economists said. It said aggregate demand continued to grow albeit with a slower momentum than in the preceding quarters and ..

Returned assets of over Rs 185 cr to banks in loan fraud case, says ED

The Enforcement Directorate Wednesday said it has "returned" assets worth more than Rs 185 crore to a State Bank of India (SBI)-led consortium of banks which were allegedly cheated through a loan fraud by a Chandigarh-based pharma company. The case pertains to Surya Pharmaceutical Ltd., undergoing liquidation currently, its directors and promoters named Rajiv Goyal and Alka Goyal who caused "wrongful loss" worth Rs 828.50 crore to the banks, it said. The ED filed a criminal case against the accused company and its promoters taking cognisance of a CBI FIR. The agency said in a statement that loan was obtained by the company using "fabricated" documents such as invoices, transport details, lorry receipts etc. for issuance of Inland Letter of Credits (ILCs) and this money was subsequently "layered and siphoned off" by Surya Pharmaceutical Ltd. using a web of bank accounts of group companies and shell entities. This caused a loss of Rs 828.50 crore to the lending banks headed by SBI, i

SBI, Exim Bank helping Africa's businesses by filling trade financing gap

The State Bank of India and the India Exim Bank are helping businesses in African countries to fill the gap in trade finance, the South African heads of the two organisations told the India Entrepreneurs Forum (IEF) here.

Income disparity declines 74.2% among those earning up to Rs 5 lakh: Study

There has been a cumulative 74.2 per cent decline in income disparity coverage for those earning up to Rs 5 lakh annually between fiscal years 2013-14 and 2022-23, said a State Bank of India (SBI) report on Friday. To paraphrase the "often myth of worsening inequality" in India, the research report from the Economic Department of SBI has analysed the income disparity curves of assessment years (AY) 2014-15/FY14 and AY24/FY23. A comparison of disparity in income during AY15 and AY24 shows that there is a clear rightward shift in the income distribution curve, signifying people in lower income brackets are increasing their income to converge towards their share in population, it said. "Our analysis shows that there has been a cumulative 74.2% decline in income disparity coverage for those earning up to Rs 5 lakh. This shows the continuous efforts of Govt are reaching the bottom of pyramid that is leading to increase in income of 'lower income group' people," said the report titled 'H
