Deposits
By FinanceBharat Money Desk
Our view
Inflation is heading for 6%. A second small hike is justified, but borrowers and companies need to know how far this goes.
By FinanceBharat Editorial Board
Our view
Overseas funds bought Indian shares this week because they were selling something else. The money that actually holds this market up is domestic.
By FinanceBharat Editorial Board
Our view
When the RBI raises rates, borrowers pay more within weeks. Depositors should not have to wait for banks to run short of cash.
By FinanceBharat Editorial Board
Our view
Bengaluru startups took 64% of all funding last quarter while Mumbai's fell 64%. Early-stage capital needs to reach more cities.
