Wednesday, 07 July , 2004 [PTI] : Despite adequate liquidity in the banking
system to support a credit pick up, a 27 per cent plunge in offtake by farm
sector slowed down lending by banks during 2003-04, the pre-budget Economic
Survey said today. The Survey, tabled
in Parliament, found that the total bank credit grew at 14.6 per cent during
the previous year, lower than 16.1 per cent in 2002-03. The gross bank credit, according to the
Survey, stood at Rs 7,64,383 crore during 2003-04. Both food and non-food credit growth during 2003-04 was a notch
lower than that during the previous year, it said. The decline in food credit to Rs 35,961 crore during the previous
year was mainly on account of lower procurement and higher offtake of
foodgrains, it said. Food credit during 2002-03 stood at as high as Rs 49,479
crore, it added. The non-food credit, which remained
subdued in the first two quarters, picked up from the third quarter to register
a 17.6 per cent growth but was marginally lower than 18.6 per cent growth
during 2002-03. The increase in
non-food credit to Rs 7,28,422 crore was due to improvement in industrial
production and the trend "is likely to be sustained", the Survey
said. The incremental non-food credit amounted
to Rs 1,19,684 crore in 2003-04 as compared to Rs 99,448 crore a year ago. Of the total Rs 2,63,834 crore priority
sector lending in 2003-04, credit to agriculture grew by 23.2 per cent to Rs
90,541 crore. |
