OBC has revised its base rate upwards by 50 basis points to 9.50% and BPLR by 50 basis points to 13.75%. Dena Bank, IOB and Indian Bank have hiked their base rates by 50 basis points.

Nupur Mitra, ED, IOB said, “The demand for credit is unlikely to be impacted by higher rates and we will be taking a call on whether to hike the BPLR, which is currently at 13.5%. However, our margins are likely to suffer as a result and could drop to 3% from 3.27%.” With the latest round of loan rate hikes, the base rates of almost all banks are now above 9%. When the base rate was first introduced in July last year, most banks had announced a rate of around 8%. HDFC Home Loan

“This is line with the interest rates in the economy, which have hardened due to an increase in policy rates, inflation and liquidity in the domestic market,” HDFC said in a release. HDFC has increased its retail prime lending rate (RPLR) to which its Adjustable rate home loans (ARHL) is benchmarked, by 25 basis points. The RPLR for loans up to Rs 30 lakh will be 9.75%, for loans between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 75 lakh will be 10% and for loans above that it will be 10.5%.

Meanwhile, Bank of Baroda has realigned deposit rates reducing them for some buckets while increasing them for others.

On Monday, Punjab National Bank had upped both its base rate and benchmark prime lending rate by 50 basis points each to 9.5%and 13% respectively.

It was the first bank to hike loan rates after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked key policy rates by 25 basis points each on January 25, 2011, during its review of the monetary policy.

Said KR Kamath, CMD, PNB, ” We believe that credit offtake will not be impacted by the increase in the loan rates. We have increased deposit rates because we need to sustain both the growth in deposit, currently at 20% and maintain credit growth at 25%.”

Kamath added that the hike was taken in response to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) wishes that credit and deposit growth be aligned.

Allahabad Bank increased its BPLR by 25 basis points to 13.50% and its base rate by 50 basis point to 9.50%. United Bank of India(UBI) too upped its base rate by 50 basis points to 9.45% and BPLR by 50 bps to 13.50%.

With wholesale inflation ruling at 8.5% for the better part of 2010, the central bank increased policy rates six times between March and December 2010.

Banks followed suit increasing both loan and deposit rates with some lenders such as ICICI Bank upping rates twice in the span of a month. The latest hike by banks was on December 31, 2010, when five banks including State Bank of India (SBI) upped loan rates. While SBI raised its base rate by 40 basis points to 8%, ICICI Bank hiked its base rate and benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) by 50 basis points to 8.25% and 25 basis points to 17%, respectively.

The Monetary Policy Committee left the key lending rate at a record low of 6 percent, the Nairobi-based Central Bank of Kenya said in an e-mailed statement today. The decision was expected by all four economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

“Previous cuts haven’t had much effect in bringing down base rates at commercial banks,” James Mose, a research analyst with CFC Stanbic Financial Services Ltd., said in an interview from Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. “So we didn’t expect another cut today.”

Kenya’s central bank has reduced rates by 2.5 percentage points since March 2009 as it sought to encourage commercial lenders to increase loans and help the economy recover from the global crisis. Bank lending, led by demand from Kenyan households, advanced 6 percent to 878.8 billion shillings ($11 billion) in the third quarter, according to the central bank.

Growth in East Africa’s biggest economy accelerated to an annual 5.4 percent in the second quarter from 4.8 percent in the previous three-month period, after rain ended a drought and boosted farming output and hydropower generation.

The economy may grow 6 percent in 2011, compared with an estimated 5 percent this year and 2.6 percent in 2009, Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki said last month.

Ratings Upgrade

Kenya’s improved economic outlook was one of the reasons that Standard & Poor’s cited for raising its sovereign rating for the country by one step to B+, four levels below investment grade, on Nov. 19.

There is “increased confidence in the economy,” led by growth in agriculture, construction, manufacturing and finance, the central bank said today.

Kenyan lenders have failed to match previous reductions in the key lending rate. Bank’s average lending rate was 14 percent in September, down from 14.2 percent a month earlier, according to central bank statistics. Banks have scope to reduce the cost of borrowing further after deposits grew, Central Bank Governor Njuguna Ndung’u said last month.

Interest charges fell the most at mid-sized banks, where maturity lengths increased, and many lenders “continue to operate in an environment of high returns not commensurate with risk,” the central bank said today.

Higher Profits

Equity Bank Ltd., Kenya’s biggest by market value, last month reported a 52 percent increase in nine-month profit driven by higher interest income from loans. Barclays Bank of Kenya Ltd., the second-largest lender, reported on Nov. 19 that net income between January and September surged 20 percent.

Growth in lending hasn’t triggered inflation, which remained below the government’s target of 5 percent over the past eight months.

The government’s borrowing program is not expected to put pressure on interest rates, while inflation is at an “appropriate” level, the central bank said today.

The central bank also raised its economic growth forecast for fiscal 2010 to 3.3 percent, following a two-day policy board meeting ending today.

Policy makers predicted an expansion of 3.3 percent in the year ending March 31 compared with the 2.1 percent estimated in October, the central bank said in a statement today in Tokyo.

The positive view by the BOJ matched the government’s forecast for a 3.1 percent expansion. The government predicted growth would accelerate as overseas demand for Japanese products increased.

The central bank decided to maintain the size of its asset purchase fund and the cheap credit program, which were kept unchanged at 5 trillion yen (60.52 billion U.S. dollars) and 30 trillion yen (363.15 billion U.S. dollars) respectively.

BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa and his policy board also predict that consumer prices will decrease 0.3 percent this fiscal year compared with their initial forecast for a 0.4 percent decline three months earlier.

The BOJ predicts inflation will pick up to 0.3 percent the following year, higher than its October prediction of 0.1 percent.

“The recovery trend of the Japanese economy is becoming increasingly evident,” Seiji Shiraishi, chief economist at HSBC Securities in Tokyo. “I think there is still about a 30 percent chance for another policy easing around March if the yen strengthens and political pressure remains,” he said.

The lending rates on one state-run bank’s loans to borrowers in industries that are highly polluting or which have overcapacity are 45% higher than the country’s benchmark lending rate, while its property loans are at least 10% higher, the newspaper reported.

Another commercial bank has raised interest rates on loans to small- and medium-sized companies by around 40%, but demand for credit remains strong, the newspaper reported.

Banks usually offer lower loan rates than the country’s benchmark lending rates to attract corporate customers, but they are now seeking to curb lending because they have almost used up the loan quotas for January set by senior management. Chinese banks often frontload lending at the start of each year to maintain or expand their share of the country’s credit market.

This year’s new yuan loans totaled CNY1.2 trillion ($182 billion) as of Monday, the China Business News reported Tuesday, citing an unnamed source. New yuan loans totaled CNY1.4 trillion in January 2010.

The China Securities Journal reported last week, citing unnamed sources, that China plans to cut new yuan lending by as much as 10% this year, and has ordered banks to limit their new yuan lending in January to 12% of the full-year target of between CNY7.2 trillion and CNY7.5 trillion.

Banks in China extended CNY17.55 trillion worth of loans in the past two years to support the government’s economic stimulus efforts.

China’s central bank has yet to announce an official lending target for this year, but it has used various monetary tools to tame credit growth and high inflation.

The central bank raised banks’ reserve requirement ratio by half a percentage point last week, its seventh hike since the start of last year. Individual banks that exceed the country’s official lending target are also subject to penalties, such as an increase in their reserve requirement ratio or compulsory purchases of central bank bills.

The benchmark money-market rate reached a three-year high after the central bank drained cash from the banking system to cool economic growth. The renminbi climbed 0.57 percent in the past five days, a fifth weekly gain, and reached the strongest level since China unified official and market exchange rates at the end of 1993. The yuan will continue to appreciate, advancing 6 percent next year, said David Cohen, an economist at Action Economics Ltd. in Singapore.

Policy makers “recognize the usefulness of a stronger currency in curbing inflation,” said Cohen. “The yuan, like other Asian currencies, has very strong fundamentals and the country has a very large current-account surplus.”

The yuan climbed 0.17 percent to 6.5897 per dollar as of 4:30 p.m. in Shanghai, earlier touching a high of 6.5896, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System. Twelve- month non-deliverable forwards were little changed at 6.4608, reflecting bets the currency will gain 2 percent in a year.

The People’s Bank of China set the reference rate higher for the ninth day, at 6.6227 per dollar today compared with 6.6229 yesterday. The yuan is allowed to trade by up to 0.5 percent either side of the so-called central parity rate. The U.S. Dollar Index, a gauge of the greenback’s strength, retreated for the seventh day.

Hu’s Visit
The main appreciation of the yuan will likely happen in the first quarter, with Hu Jintao’s state visit to Washington next month, said Craig Chan, an Asia foreign-exchange strategist at Nomura Singapore Ltd. on Dec. 16. The House of Representatives passed legislation in September letting U.S. companies petition for duties on Chinese imports to compensate for the effect of a weak yuan.

The renminbi will be the top performer among the so-called BRIC nations currencies in the coming year, according to analyst surveys by Bloomberg. China’s currency will strengthen 4.9 percent to 6.28 by the end of 2011, according to the median estimate of 19 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. That’s over double the 2 percent gain projected by 12-month non-deliverable forwards.

Analysts predict Brazil’s real will weaken 2.4 percent, Russia’s ruble will appreciate 0.6 percent and India’s rupee will rise 3.7 percent.

Offshore yuan forwards rose 0.34 percent to 6.5800 per dollar in Hong Kong. Twelve-month deliverable forwards in the city were at 6.5760 today, compared with 6.5725 yesterday.

Zhou Pledge
China’s consumer prices climbed 5.1 percent from a year earlier in November, the biggest gain in 28 months, the statistics bureau said on Dec. 11. The yuan is a denomination of China’s currency, the renminbi.

Central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan pledged in his New Year message to tackle inflation, saying the nation had consolidated its recovery in 2010. Zhou reaffirmed a shift to a “prudent” monetary policy in 2011 from the “moderately loose” stance that countered the financial crisis.

The seven-day repurchase rate, which measures lending costs between banks, advanced seven basis points to 6.34 percent, the highest level since October 2007, according to a daily fixing published at 11 a.m. by the National Interbank Funding Center.

The yield on the 3.67 percent government bond due October 2020 was unchanged at 3.88 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. One-year interest-rate swaps, or the fixed cost needed to receive the floating seven-day repurchase rate, slipped four basis points to 3.17 percent.

Lenders are holding onto funds after policy makers raised banks reserve requirements for the third time in five weeks to curb inflation. The central bank on Dec. 25 also lifted the benchmark lending and deposit rates by 25 basis points, the second increase this quarter.

Policy makers are likely to boost lending and deposit rates by about 2 percentage points more next year, said Tao Dong, chief economist for Asia excluding Japan at Credit Suisse Group AG. in Hong Kong Dec. 22.

“There is more room for yields will fall, as investors bet that inflation” comes out very low in February and March, “said okte Isik, a trader Finans Invest in Istanbul. “Bonds issued by banks are all linked to this environment of low interest rates. Others will follow, because it is a way of financing at low cost.”

Sponsors revealed three days ago, which applied to regulators to sell up to 3 billion pounds in local currency bonds with different maturities. Isbank applied last week to spend up to 5 billion pounds of debt.

Rarity
Akbank bonds were at a 7.28 percent return, compared with 6.5 percent for June 2011 Turkish lira bonds, data compiled by Bloomberg prices show. Demand for debt sold by Turkish banks will be enhanced by their rarity value, “said Simon Quijano-Evans, chief economist for emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa at Credit Agricole SA Chevreux in Vienna.

“Investors are willing to offer everything that a pickup in yield to buy bonds,” Quijano-Evans said.

Since Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan took power in 2003, the gross domestic product at constant prices grew by 34 percent, including contractions in 2008 and 2009, according to the National Institute of Statistics.

Akbank and other Turkish banks receiving funds from the bond market, after Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings and the year the credit ratings Turkey last year Standard & Poor’s. Fitch raised its outlook on its BB + rating, the highest non-investment grade, which uses a “positive” from “stable” on Nov. 24, citing the strength of the Turkish economy and the improvement of public finances.

Rate cut
The central bank reduced the benchmark lending rate by 50 basis points to a record level of 6.5 per cent yesterday, after it has been fixed for a year to stem capital inflows from abroad to expand the deficit currents. The bank gave no further information on rates.

An increase in Turkey, investment grade in the general election next year, set for June, also in a decline in bond yields, “said G’rol Ozer, head of fixed income trading and the Istanbul-based Deniz Bank AS. Moody’s and S & P rates Turkey, two levels below investment grade.

“We think that Turkey can be updated by the end of next year,” Ozer said. “It ‘s difficult to define a plan for bond yields to predict now.” Yields on government securities of two years, is likely to fall as low as 6 percent to slow inflation to 5.5 percent, the estimate of the Central Bank by the end of next year, he said.

Mortgages Lag
Bank lending rose 13.7 per cent this year and surpassing the expansion of the sector, and in 2011 will be a year to showcase the industry, “said Bilgin November 12. The amount of outstanding mortgage debt corresponds to Turkey 5 percent of GDP, according to the Central Bank. This compares with the EU average of 49.8 percent from 2008, compiled the latest figures of the European Mortgage Federation.

holdings of foreign investors turkish domestic debt accounted for 12.3 percent of the total exhibition in October from 8.9 percent in January, the data on the website of the Ministry of Finance.

denominated domestic investors are likely to be the pillar of the corporate bond market in pounds, which have less liquid market for the turkish government bonds and not so much economically, said Kieran Curtis, managing more than 2,000,000,000 US Dollar in emerging market bonds contribute Aviva Investors in London.

“The results do not seem that attractive, liquidity is not that fantastic and the spreads are not going well,” said Curtis, adding that its funds “light” is underweight bonds turkish, because “real yields are not as interesting and there are other interesting coins to invest in ”

The government is selling bonds for less than a percentage of debt maturing in 2011 than this year, with the rate decreases to 88 percent or 135 billion lire, from 90 percent in 2010, said Minister of Finance October 28.

“The Treasury should not pull up a little more space for private sector bonds,” Quijano-Evans said. “Once, in the long term, bonds, banks can offer to get the prize being a bit ‘more attractive than the national debt.”

“Inflation is beginning to worry us,” Chairman Sergey Ignatiev told reporters yesterday in Moscow. The central bank will “primarily” use its interest-rate policy to control rising prices, he said.

Policy makers are weighing the first rate increase since 2008 after inflation accelerated to the fastest in 11 months in November. The IMF urged Russia to focus monetary policy “squarely on reducing inflation” as the Washington-based fund raised its forecast for prices to grow 8.5 percent from about 6 percent.

“While the sharp increase in inflation in recent months has been driven largely by a drought-related spike in food prices, non-food prices have also been increasing steadily since July,” Juha Kahkonen, chief of the IMF’s Russia mission, said in a statement today. “Accordingly, an increase in policy interest rates would seem warranted to prevent the second-round effects of food-price increases from taking hold.”

Ruble Climbs
The ruble climbed to its strongest level in almost a month against the dollar, surging 0.5 percent to 30.91 per greenback, the strongest since Nov. 13, by the 5 p.m. close in Moscow, and gained versus the euro as investors shunned European assets for the prospect of higher Russian returns.

The price of oil, Russia’s chief export earner, also gained today by as much as 1.3 percent to $89.42 a barrel in New York.

Higher interest rates would bolster the ruble’s appeal as a target for the carry trade, where investors borrow funds in countries where interest rates are lower and then invest the money where the returns are higher.

The central bank lowered its main refinancing rate 14 times between April 2009 and May this year and has since kept the rate at 7.75 percent for six months as policy makers sought to keep a lid on prices without damping the economy’s recovery from a 7.9 percent slump last year.

The inflation rate may reach 8.4 percent this year after higher food costs and a weaker ruble fanned price-growth, Ignatiev said yesterday. The worst drought in at least half a century triggered crop losses and drove up food costs after price growth slowed to a record-low 5.5 percent in July.

Maintain Policy
While Bank Rossii said Nov. 26 that it was committed to “monetary stimulus,” the bank’s statement omitted a previous pledge to maintain that policy “for the coming months.”

“Russia’s central bank is hawkish on rates amid inflation pressure, admitting refinancing rates could be hiked in the first quarter,” VTB Capital analysts led by Dmitry Dmitriev in Moscow said yesterday in a note to clients. “We also stress the mounting prospect of a rate hike in early 2011.”

Bank Rossii may lift the benchmark rate by a quarter-point by the end of March, according to the median estimate of 19 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Traders are pricing in 0.58 percentage points of increases over the next three months, forward-rate agreements show.

The Economy Ministry estimates gross domestic product will grow 3.8 percent this year, less than the 4 percent initially forecast by the government. GDP expanded an annual 2.7 percent in the third quarter, the slowest pace this year.

Chinese Growth
China’s economy expanded three times faster, at 9.6 percent last quarter, and India’s grew an annual 8.9 percent in the three months through September. The Indian economy is likely to expand 8.5 percent in the fiscal year through March, the most in three years, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Nov. 20.

In addition to considering rate increases, Bank Rossii may combat inflation by increasing reserve requirements for banks if capital inflows resume, Ignatiev said today. Net capital outflow was about $9 billion last month, raising the total for the first 11 months of the year to $29 billion, Ignatiev said.

Russia’s emerging-market peers, including Brazil and China, have recently tightened policy to head off inflationary pressure as domestic demand expands.

Brazil’s central bank last week raised reserve and capital requirements to slow consumer lending. China has increased reserve requirements five times this year, with the latest taking effect Nov. 29.

More Active
Turkey’s central bank said Nov. 29 that it may make “more active” use of reserve requirements to stem foreign currency inflows. Peru’s central bank raised its benchmark lending rate five times this year and increased reserve requirements to prevent inflation from exceeding the government’s target range.

Russia’s key rate is lower than Brazil’s benchmark Selic overnight rate, which policy makers increased three times this year to 10.75 percent. India’s central bank raised rates for a sixth time this year on Nov. 2, boosting the repurchase rate by a quarter-point to 6.25 percent and the reverse repurchase rate by a similar margin to 5.25 percent.

In Russia, bank lending growth is set to accelerate next year, expanding 20 percent in nominal terms, Ignatiev said. Loans have increased about 13 percent this year, he said.
