Fund raising via debt placement drops 39% in April-May
  • Fundraising through the route plunged to a six-year low in 2021-22 to Rs 5.88 lakh crore.
  • The main reason behind it was the good performance of the equities and aggressive fund disbursal by banks at lower interest rates.
  • But in near future, it might be uncertain as interest rates are expected to firm up, liquidity to get tighter, and inflation to remain high.
  • Apart from that listed companies have raised lower amounts of funds through bonds and the credit off-take from banks has also been slow.
  • Debt markets are mostly tapped by the financial sector companies who use funds for onward lending.
  • It has also been expected that constant liquidity in the system and overall lower credit off-take will keep the dependence low on public issuance of corporate debt.
