Banking Scenario Economic slowdown has deepened considerably with IIP growth slipping to 3.9% in Apr-Nov, 2008 from 9.20% in Apr-Nov, 2007 The RBI has revised its GDP growth forecast downwards in Monetary Policy Review (Jan 27) to 7.0% (with a downward bias) from 7.5–8.0% Inflation, however, has eased considerably & expected in the band of 2.5% to 3.0% by end of FY09. Interest Rates have developed a south-ward bias, but adjustments of lending rates will be gradual as cost of funds still on the higher side and downside risks to growth remain significant Banks’ credit growth estimated at 24% & deposit growth at 19.0% for FY09. RBI’s steps since Oct, 2008 have released liquidity worth of Rs 3,66,000 crore so far in the banking system.

Bank’s Guidance for FY09 To continue with our thrust on “Growth with Quality” by focusing on CASA, by further reducing the dependence on Bulk Business & by protecting the Asset Quality with a firm control on the process of Credit Origination To achieve the Business Growth of 25.0% in FY09 and FY10. To protect the ROAA above 1.0% and ROE above 17.0% (already achieved in Apr-Dec, FY09) for FY09 & later To bring down the Cost-Income Ratio to 45.0% To maintain the growth of at least 25.0%-plus in core Fee-Based Income in FY09 and improve it further for the coming years To continue with our efforts to bring down Gross & Net NPA further despite challenging times ahead…
