New Delhi : The data collected by Swiss National Bank in collaboration with Bank for International Settlements (BIS) shows that the loans and deposits of Indians, other than Banks, in the Swiss banks decreased by 34.5% in the year 2017 as compared to 2016. Further, there has been significant reduction in Swiss non-bank loans and deposits of Indians by 80.2% between 2013 and 2017.
In respect of the increase in 2017 in the Swiss Bank deposits from India, as reported by the media recently, the Swiss authorities have said, “ To analyze Indian residents’ deposits held in Switzerland, another data source should be used.
