Expect a rally of 20 bps in bonds on back of lower borrowing target, says Bank of India

The government released its borrowing plan for the first half of FY19 which is considerably less than what they borrowed in FY18. In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Dinabandhu Mohapatra, Managing Director & CEO, Bank of India spoke about the latest happenings in his company and sector.

It is a very good move at the right point of time. All banks will be benefited by this. I expect around 20% rally in the bond today, he said.

Expect provisions to be lower by 50-60%, added Mohapatra.
