flag Indian gold-backed loans jumped 128.5% yoy to $40 billion by Oct 2025, fueled by high gold prices and low rates.

flag Gold-backed loans in India surged 128.5% year-on-year to 3.38 lakh crore rupees by October 2025, according to the Reserve Bank of India, driven by high gold prices, low interest rates, and easy access compared to unsecured loans. flag The rapid growth, far exceeding overall credit expansion, reflects a shift as households use idle gold to meet liquidity and consumption needs. flag While the segment remains a small share of total non-food credit, its share nearly doubled in a year. flag The RBI notes limited immediate financial stability risks due to contained exposure but is monitoring the trend closely due to sensitivity to gold price swings.
