SBI chief pitches for institution to track funds raised by small businesses

State Bank of India chairman CS Setty on Friday pitched for the creation of a market infrastructure institution to track the end-use of funds borrowed or raised as equity by small businesses. A "viable mechanism" is needed to ensure that the funds are used for the intended purposes, Setty said in remarks which come amid heightened concerns on the subject of end-use of funds. "We will require a viable mechanism to track the actual use of these funds to ensure that the funds are utilised for the purposes they have been raised for, probably through the establishment of a separate market infrastructure institution with powers to track the use of borrowed funds or the funds raised through equities," Setty said. Addressing a conference organised by the Sebi-promoted NISM here, Setty said the creation of such a platform will provide comfort to lenders as well as investors, and make pricing more competitive. It can be noted that the RBI has been pressing lenders to monitor end-use funds, .

Need active participation of pension, mutual funds in corp bond market: SBI

State Bank of India chairman C S Setty on Wednesday called for active participation by mutual funds and pension funds in the corporate bond market. "I am sure that a lot of corporates would like to issue bonds. I believe that if household/corporate savings are finding ways into these three investment categories, it is important that insurance and mutual funds also actively participate in the corporate bond market. I don't see that kind of participation actively coming in," Setty said. He said the pension/ mutual funds are making investments in AAA-rated bonds and this is not going to help deepen the corporate bond market. Setty said the corporate bond market has to come into financing of infrastructure as well as balance sheet funding of corporates. He said the investments are happening not only in equity but also in mutual funds, pension funds and insurance funds. "We have been debating on depth of the corporate bond market for many years. We could not achieve that depth," Setty

Eight of the top-10 most valued firms together lost Rs 1,65,180.04 crore from market valuation in a holiday-shortened last week, with HDFC Bank and State Bank of India taking the hardest hit in line with a weak trend in equities. Last week, BSE benchmark Sensex fell by 1,906.01 or 2.39 per cent. Equity markets were closed on Friday for Guru Nanak Jayanti.

SBI announces 0.05% hike in marginal cost of fund-based lending rate

The country's largest lender SBI on Thursday announced a 0.05 per cent increase in the marginal cost of fund-based lending rate (MCLR) in some tenors. The one-year MCLR, a key tenor to which long-term loans like home finance are linked, has been increased by 0.05 per cent to 9 per cent effective from Friday, as per a notice on the lender's website. The lender has hiked the MCLR twice in the recent past, amid fears that the higher cost of deposits because of the war on the liabilities side among banks will ultimately result in higher ending rates. The bank's Chairman C S Setty had said 42 per cent of the bank's loan book is linked to the MCLR, while the rest is external benchmark-based. He had also made it clear that the deposit rates have peaked in the system and the bank will not use rate as a pull factor for the customer. SBI has also upped the MCLR in the three- and six-month tenors, and maintained it in the overnight, one month, two-year, and three-year tenors.

SBI aims to become first financial firm to cross Rs 1 trn profit: Chairman

State Bank of India (SBI) is aiming to become the first Indian financial firm to cross a milestone of Rs 1 lakh crore net profit in the next 3-5 years, chairman of the country's largest lender C S Setty has said. SBI recorded a standalone net profit of Rs 61,077 crore in FY24, registering a growth of 21.59 per cent. "We have potential. Definitely, we would like to be the first company in India to reach that milestone," Setty said when asked if it is possible to cross Rs 1 lakh crore in the next 3-5 years. However, he said, "while profits, market capitalization etc are extremely important elements for our organization, we give equal thrust on customer-centricity and it acts as a fundamental aspect of our operations." With regard to corporate loan demand, Setty said, the bank has already got a Rs 4 lakh crore strong credit pipeline from India Inc and capital expenditure by the private sector is expected to pick up in the second half of the fiscal year.

SBI has Rs 4 trn credit pipeline, pvt capex to pick up: Chairman C S Setty

SBI Chairman C S Setty has said the bank has already got Rs 4 lakh crore strong credit pipeline from India Inc and expressed hope that capital expenditure by the private sector is expected to pick up in the second half of the fiscal year. "We see a good amount of interest in private capital expenditure. The infrastructure financing, of course, is mainly coming from the roads, renewable energy, and some of the refineries," he told PTI in an interview. As far as public spending is concerned, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Budget proposed to raise the capital expenditure target by 11.1 per cent to record Rs 11.11 lakh crore for 2024-25. This is 3.4 per cent of the country's GDP. Setty said some of the corporates had undertaken brownfield expansion for which the capital expenditure was funded by their own cash accruals and cash balances that they had. However, he said, "We now see some of the corporates drawing the term loans for brownfield expansion too." "We have a pipel
