Khara said his focus would be on credit quality, preservation of net interest margins (NIMs) and employee safety in view of the pandemic. Credit at the lender is growing in the range of 6-7% and the retail segment is holding up well, Khara said, pointing to the fact that much of corporate demand for debt is moving to the markets. The bank has already provided for all its legacy accounts and its corporate provision coverage ratio (PCR) is around 85% and overall PCR is 83%. #MOMarketUpdates #MotilalOswal #IndianStockMarket #Nifty #sensex #SBI #Techstocks #TCS #HCL
