Iran's CB Reports Rise in Loan-Deposit Ratio

Data released by the Central Bank of Iran show lending by banks increased in the month to January 19. 
The loan-to-deposit ratio rose 1.4% to reach 80.8% indicating a 2.2% increase compared to the same period a year earlier. 
LDR is used to assess a bank's liquidity by comparing the total loans to total deposits for a specific period and is expressed in percentage.
If the ratio is too high, the bank may not have enough liquidity to cover unforeseen fund requirements. Conversely, if the ratio is too low, the bank may not be earning as much as it should be.
