为防止印度第二大银行ICICI银行发生挤兑，印度央行（Reserve Bank of India）昨日介入这一事件并向投资者和储户保证，ICICI银行财务状况良好。

印度央行警告，“基于有关ICICI银行财务状况的传言，一些地方的储户开始在自动取款机（ATM）和该行的网点提取存款”。

尽管如此，印度央行表示，ICICI银行有足够的流动性以满足储户的需求，并且该行及其海外分支机构均拥有充足的资本。印度央行表示已经做出相应安排为ICICI银行提供充足资金以满足该行客户的提款要求。

印度商界的知名人物，该行首席执行官卡马斯（KV Kamath）昨日呼吁储户不要惊慌，称印度部分地方出现的有关该行的传言是“恶毒而没有根据的”。

The Reserve Bank of India yesterday stepped in to prevent a run on ICICI Bank, reassuring investors and depositors that India's second-largest lender was in sound financial health.

“Based on rumours regarding the financial strength of ICICI Bank, depositors are withdrawing cash at its ATMs and branches in some locations,” the central bank warned.

However, the central bank said ICICI had enough liquidity to meet the needs of its depositors and the bank and its international subsidiaries were well capitalised. The RBI said it had made arrangements to provide adequate liquidity to ICICI to meet the demands of its account holders.

KV Kamath, ICICI's chief executive and one of India's most prominent businesspeople, yesterday appealed to depositors not to panic, saying rumours spreading about the bank in some parts of the country were “baseless and malicious”.
