With a favorable ratio of long-term to short-term deposits and a relatively low reliance on wholesale funding coupled with cautious credit policies, the banking sector in the country is expected to continue recording sizable growth in the coming years. In terms of assets, the sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 10% during 2009-2013, as per our new research report “Opportunities in Brazil Banking Sector”.
There has been huge demand for bank loans in the recent past, mainly due to the release of long-repressed demand in the consumer sector. However, the corporate credit also grew strongly in the past two years. Strong appetite for personal credit was stimulated by a marked recovery of real incomes and increased confidence in the prospects for continued macroeconomic stability.
Moreover, the deposits in the system remained mostly unaffected from global credit crunch. The deposits grew at a CAGR of over 29% during 2002-2008 with people still believing banks as the safest place for keeping their money and earn stable returns. Therefore, the deposit/GDP ratio in the country is found to be very high by both regional as well as international standards, having achieved an estimated 70% in 2008.
