SBI keeps 14-15% credit growth guidance amid breach probes
In short
SBI kept its credit growth target at 14-15% and deposit growth target at 10-11%, according to a publisher summary. The headline says CS Setty also warned that a 50 bps repo hike may slow consumer borrowing.
This matters because higher rates can make loans costlier and reduce spending. The report does not say how big the effect could be, and it also mentions data breach probes without giving details.
