一名高级官员表示，随着国内信贷市场的增长推动了古吉拉特邦国际金融科技城（GIFT City，正与新加坡和香港争夺外资），印度国际金融枢纽的银行业资产自6月以来激增了约60%。
Banking assets in India’s international financial hub have surged about 60% since June, a top official said, as growth in the nation’s credit markets boosts GIFT City that’s competing with Singapore and Hong Kong in attracting foreign capital.
国际金融服务中心管理局（IFSCA）主席K·拉贾拉曼（K. Rajaraman）周四在接受彭博电视台采访时表示，截至9月底，该枢纽内的银行持有的资产已达到约1930亿美元。根据IFSCA公布的数据，相比之下，截至6月的资产为12069亿美元。
Assets held by banks in the hub have reached about $193 billion as of end-September, K. Rajaraman, chairman of the International Financial Services Centres Authority, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Thursday. That compares with $120.69 billion as of June, according to data published by IFSCA.
拉贾拉曼表示：“持续的增长来自信贷市场，特别是银行提供的信贷。”他另行表示，银行资产的增长主要归因于外汇存款和外部商业借款。
“Sustained growth has come through credit markets, especially offered by the banks,” Rajaraman said. He said separately that the increase in banking assets was primarily due to foreign currency deposits and external commercial borrowings.
n他说，对于寻求为其国内运营以及全球扩张提供资金的印度公司来说，该枢纽内的银行有望成为最大的资本来源之一。印度储备银行（Reserve Bank of India）针对非居民外汇存款推出的、从6月持续到8月底的专项互换机制，有助于促进古吉拉特邦国际金融科技城（或称GIFT City）的活动。
Banks in the hub are poised to become one of the biggest sources of capital for Indian companies seeking to fund their domestic operations as well as their global expansion, he said. The Reserve Bank of India’s special swap facility for foreign-currency non-resident deposits which ran from June till the end of August helped boost activity in GIFT City, or the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City.
汇丰控股有限公司（HSBC Holdings Plc）、渣打集团（Standard Chartered Plc）和三菱日联金融集团（Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc.）等公司已在该经济区建立了庞大的业务，该区提供某些税收和监管限制豁免，从而增强了其作为国际融资场所的吸引力。
The economic zone, in which firms including HSBC Holdings Plc, Standard Chartered Plc and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. have built huge businesses, offers exemptions from certain taxes and regulatory restrictions, boosting its appeal as an international capital-raising venue.
未来资产投资管理（印度）公司（Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India)）和Jio贝莱德资产管理公司（Jio BlackRock Asset Management）等资产管理公司也已在该枢纽设立了运营机构。
Asset managers including Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India) and Jio BlackRock Asset Management have also established operations in the hub.
在此快速增长之际，当局正面临外界对该金融枢纽税收政策的担忧。据当地一家媒体报道，GIFT City的一些投资基金最近收到了2024-25和2025-26评估年度的税务通知，尽管此类实体享有豁免权，这引发了人们对该枢纽吸引力核心的税收优惠政策落实情况的质疑。
The rapid growth comes as authorities confront concerns over the tax policy in the financial hub. Some investment funds in GIFT City have recently received tax notices for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 assessment years despite exemptions available to such entities, raising questions over the implementation of tax incentives that are central to the hub’s appeal, according to a local media report.
拉贾拉曼表示，政府和IFSCA正在共同努力，以确保旨在吸引和留住跨国公司在GIFT City落户的税收优惠和其他政策得以落实。
Rajaraman said the government and IFSCA are working together to make sure that the tax incentives and other policies meant to draw in and keep multinational companies in GIFT City are being implemented.
当局还计划允许印度公司通过在GIFT City双重上市来对接全球投资者。拉贾拉曼表示，印度证券交易委员会（Securities and Exchange Board of India）和IFSCA正在制定相关框架，“双重上市无疑是一个目标”。
There are also plans by authorities to allow Indian companies to tap global investors through dual listings in GIFT City. The Securities and Exchange Board of India and IFSCA are working on the framework, Rajaraman said. “Dual listing is certainly a goal.”
