The pause follows a decline in issuance, with banks raising 708 billion rupees between June 16 and June 29, down from about one trillion rupees raised in the first half of the month.\nBank executives expect the slowdown to persist until September following the Reserve Bank of India's decision in June to absorb hedging costs incurred by lenders that raise dollars overseas. The move is expected to draw in more than US$50 billion, providing lenders with a cheaper alternative to CD, which they have traditionally relied on to fund loan growth that has consistently outpaced deposit mobilisation.\n\"Banks will refrain from issuing CDs excessively in July-September on expectations of foreign-currency deposit flows,\" said Anshul Chandak, head of treasury at Emirates NBD-backed RBL Bank Ltd. \"We expect CD rates to now stabilise and harden from September only if the RBI uses tools to suck out liquidity aggressively.\"\n\nThe slowdown in CD issuance is especially notable as banks typically raise short-term funds to strengthen their balance sheets toward the quarter-end. The issuance in the second half of June is about 19% less than 872 billion rupees raised a year earlier, according to CCIL data.\nThe cost of borrowing via these instruments has already declined, with the rate on a one-year CD easing to 6.84% on Thursday from a more than two-year high of 7.96% in May, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. By comparison, banks are offering as much as 7.75% on foreign-currency deposits with maturities of three to five years.\nAxis Bank Ltd will use foreign-currency deposits raised from the Indian diaspora in the next few months to replace expensive funds, CEO Amitabh Chaudhry said in a recent interview.\nForeign-currency deposit flows have started coming into the banking system and banks are viewing this as \"a more stable, permanent cash flow\", said Alok Singh, head of treasury at Fairfax-backed CSB Bank Ltd. \"We expect CD issuances to be lower until August-September and rates have the potential to fall further by 20-25 basis points from current levels.\"\nUploaded by Arion Yeow","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.45.2","shortVersion":"4.45.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2649622493","isCrawlerRequest":true}
