According to the latest SBP data, the demand for fresh disbursements remained muted despite lower interest rates as total advances by commercial banks during the month under review declined by 1% MoM, while on yearly basis it depicted a marginal increase to Rs.8 trillion. Consequently, advances to deposits ratio (ADR) dropped to 49% in Aug’20 from 57% in Aug’19 and 50% in July’20.

On the other hand, total investment of commercial banks grew by 36% YoY and 1% MoM, reaching to an all-time high of Rs 10.8 trillion.

As a result of this, banks' investment to deposit ratio (IDR) surged to 67% in Aug’20 from 57% in Aug’19. However, compared to previous month, the sector’s IDR remained unchanged.
