An economic research report by the State Bank of India projects that household sector net financial savings will rise to 6.5% of the gross national disposable income (GNDI) by the fiscal year 2024-25.
This forecast follows an increase in net financial savings during 2023-24, reaching 5.1% of GNDI from the previous year's 4.9%.
The growing pool of savings is deemed essential for funding deficits in government and corporate sectors while maintaining macroeconomic stability, as indicated in the report.
The Reserve Bank of India's lower balance sheet growth of 8.19% in fiscal 2024-25, compared to a nominal GDP growth of 9.9%, highlights strategic financial management.
The RBI surplus transferred to the government stands at Rs 2.69 lakh crore, expanding the fiscal capacity significantly.
Notably, while fraud cases saw a decline, the amount of defrauded money rose sharply to Rs 36,014 crore, even as card and internet fraud incidents decreased substantially.
Overall, the report underscores a transformative and resilient financial system in India that is poised at a crucial juncture.
