Press Release Summary = ICICI bank has been showing continuous growth in its profits since second quarter of year 2006. Its net profit grew to 30% and reached a sum of Rs 755 crore in this quarter.
Press Release Body = In Q2 FY’06 the net profit of ICICI Bank rose 30% to reach Rs 755 crore, compared to Rs 580 crore during the same period last year. The increase in profit was mainly contributed due to the accelerating economic growth, which encouraged more and more consumers to go for auto and home loans.
Indian middle-class, which is estimated to be 216 Million strong, is coming off its conventional aversion to take loans for buying homes, consumer electronics, and automotives, as per McKinsey & Co - New York-based consulting firm. As a consequence of this change in the perception of India middle class, there has been a continuing increase in retail lending. Compared to 13% four years ago, retail lending increased 69% of the loan portfolio of ICICI.
Banks have been eased up and can now give away the loans they weren’t able to provide three-four years before. Increased costs of borrowing have not smashed credit growth because rising incomes allow individuals to reimburse their loans.
ICICI is expanding to medium and small enterprise segment. The bank has observed robust growth both in corporate and retail advances, which has added to its profitability. International and rural banking are powerful growth engines for the bank. Foreign trade has also added to its fee income, as per experts
