Inflow of low-cost foreign fund for pvt sector up 17pc in 2014
Borrowing of low-cost funds from overseas sources by private sector entities continued to rise in
the year 2014. The inflow of foreign funds for the private sector increased by around 17 per cent
last year when the local banks sat on tonnes of idle money.
Borrowers and business leaders have attributed such a steep rise in overseas borrowings to the
higher lending rates being charged by local banks and other financial institutions. On the other
hand, bankers and experts have blamed the government's policy on yield rates of its savings
tools for the steep rise in the inflow of foreign funds for the private sector.
