Indian and Asia Pacific banks maintain stronger capital than US and European peers: Moody's

Moodys survey highlights that Asia-Pacific banks, including Indias, have stronger capital positions than peers in the US and Western Europe, supported by prudent regulatory oversight. Large Indian private banks, such as SBI, ICICI, HDFC, and Axis Bank, show high CET1 ratios (14.7–18%) and leverage due to strong internal capital generation and easy access to equity markets, outperforming government-owned peers.
