The credit increase was supported by low interest rates, a government-backed capex cycle, structural reforms, and crowding-in of private investment. Agriculture benefited from sustained rural demand and improved formal credit flow, while industrial credit was led by micro and small industries and services growth was driven by non-banking financial companies, trade, and commercial real estate.

Supervision is contrasted with the banker's viewpoint and is directed to safety, soundness, governance and the wider public interest.
