Posted by naharazizi on Saturday, October 8, 2011



the reference interest rate in India, as reported in early 2011, was 5.5%. During 2000-2010, the Indian average interest rate is 5.82%, reaching a historic high mark of 14.5% in August 2000 to a record low of 3.25% in April 2009.

In India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) takes all decisions on interest rates. Recently, RBI has urged banks to raise their deposit rates to attract more investors. The reason for this step is that credit growth has been in good form in India, while deposit growth continues to be compensated. After that, Kotak Mahindra Bank has offered the highest ever rate of 9.25% on deposits for 700 days.

the Indian banking industry is sufficiently funded and synchronized. Although market share has fallen to half its value within one year, the nation's banking sector announced profit growth of 40%. SBI features in the list of 500 prominent companies in the world, and this has strengthened the confidence of investors, and foreign direct investment. This achievement, along with direct support from the Government of India, contributed to its high interest rates.

Economic growth in India
