Overall credit growth improved to 9 per cent year-on-year (YoY) and 6.6 per cent quarter-on-quarter or QoQ, in line with systemic growth, mainly driven by strong corporate growth (11 per cent YoY/9 per cent QoQ). Canara Bank indicates that corporate growth is more structural and sustainable, with a pickup in infra activity and demand from core sectors and NBFCs."
