It said the Central Bank was using 'moral suasion' to reduce credit growth while rising interest rates have impacted the industry in a "double whammy in terms of impacting consumer demand for credit and denting asset quality."
The central bank has been trying to rein in credit growth which is partly responsible for raging inflation which hit a record near 30 percent earlier this year, economists said.
