More figures from the call
“In a longer term, longer term means I am saying 3 years, or 3.5 years, 4 years, we'll take it to 30% of our home loan mix.”
“So, the flow-through of a repo hike to the cost of funds should be to the extent of close to 80%-82% of the hikes which will happen, and the similar flow-through will happen in the portfolio as far as it is concerned.”
“I think 4%-5% of that can be offset by various methods, whether higher efficiencies or there. Balance 6%-7% impact on the PBT is likely to be there, which will also have an impact on opex to NTI in the next year.”
“if there are three hikes, let us say between October, December, February, it's just a hypothetical scenario, we should see increase in cost from now to exit around 61 bps.”
“So, if every 25 bps, around 20 bps should flow through the COF, which will be what will flow through the portfolio as well on the asset side.”
In short
