Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 18 (ANI): India's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) on Monday said it has raised 3-year funds of $500 million through a syndicated loan facility at "very fine pricing". The lender has raised the money acting through its IFSC Gift City branch.

"The successful launch of syndicated loan at such a fine pricing demonstrates the kind of reputation SBI has created for itself in offshore financial markets allowing it to efficiently raise funds even during ongoing turbulence in the markets caused by geopolitical tensions and rate hike expectations by US Federal Reserve and other central banks across the globe," Ashwini Kumar Tewari, Managing Director, SBI, said commenting on the transaction.
