Emkay said that Canara Bank’s Credit growth has moderated to 3.6% yoy/0.8% qoq mainly due to corporate debulking and tepid growth in MSME (up 2.5% yoy/down 4.7% qoq). The retail portfolio clocked 12% yoy growth, led by housing and vehicle segments. Deposit growth has come in strong at 11.5% yoy/3.9% qoq, driven by a healthy momentum in CASA (up 14% yoy) and Retail TD (up 16.3% yoy). Reported NIM was moderate at 2.75%, mainly impacted by NPA recognition and interest waiver. Canara bank believes that it is well prepared to face the second Covid-19 wave and expects credit growth to improve in FY22. Better credit growth should lead to better LDR (Loan to Deposit Ratio), which will structurally support core margins in the long run.
