According to a study by Crisil,
Indian Banks have unbooked profits of Rs 63,900
crore! |
| According
to a study by Crisil, Indian Banks have unbooked
profits of Rs 63,900 crore, which can absorb an
interest rate shock of up to 241 basis points (bps)
in case the rates move upward. Crisil, however,
does not expect significant movement in rates in
a one-year time frame and thus there are little
chances of erosion in the banks investment
portfolio.
According
to Crisil, the estimated weighted average maturity
of all outstanding gilts is 8.05 years and the
weighted average modified duration is 5.14 years.
A modified duration of 5.14 implies that for every
100 bps increase in interest rates, the value
of the portfolio shall decline by 5.14%.
