Earnings deceleration risks from management commentary
Trigger: Continued strong loan growth
Impact: -6 bps margin impact
Management view: The impact [of expected credit loss] is now up to 264 crores because the standard assets are climbing. There is a robust advanced growth that is seen and that that is having an impact on the standard asset provision.
Monitor: Standard asset growth rate
Trigger: Need for higher-yielding loan segments
Impact: -3 bps margin impact
Management view: All this we have not taken on unsecured exposure. The growth momentum is riding on secured exposure and secured exposure is just about 11 basis of the total gross advances.
Monitor: Unsecured loan portfolio growth
