मुख्य शब्द
Credit-Deposit Ratio

What is the Credit-Deposit Ratio?
- The Credit-Deposit ratio measures the proportion of a bank's total deposits that are disbursed as loans.
- It reflects balance sheet utilization and potential structural liquidity mismatches in the commercial banking sector.
Core findings of the RBI assessment
- Clarifies that credit creation inherently generates secondary bank deposits across the broader financial system.
- Emphasizes that CD ratios must be evaluated alongside Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), and capital adequacy rather than in isolation.
Why it matters
- Prevents unwarranted market panic during periods of rapid credit growth outstripping deposit mobilization.
- Highlights regulatory reliance on Basel III prudential liquidity buffers over raw accounting ratios.
प्रीलिम्स तथ्य
- Loans create deposits in monetary economics, establishing a dual relationship between liquidity and credit.
मेंस चर्चा
- Assessing financial stability risks associated with structural deposit lags during high economic credit cycles.
