AI insight
AI-generatedRemittance inflows to Kerala remain resilient despite Middle East tensions, supported by rupee depreciation which boosts INR value of foreign currency remittances. The channel is FX passthrough: a weaker INR increases local currency receipts from dollar-denominated remittances. Banks with large NRI deposit bases (Federal, South Indian) benefit from stable deposit growth. Risk is prolonged Gulf conflict causing job losses, which would reduce remittance volumes.
